No Disclaimer In This AZ Big Media Propoganda Piece?

If readers of the blog site don't know it by now, there's something about Mesa that 'ruffles my feathers' . . .Yes it's that VISION THING and what U don't know. 
BIG HOOPLA HYPE that could include someone else, other than Mesa Mormon Republican and AZ State Senator Bob Worsley, with possible and undisclosed conflicts of interest in the intersection of finance and law, government, politics, the Arizona Board of Regents, deals, entitlements, and private fortunes in  real estate development here in the City of Mesa and inside the Old Donut-Hole . . .
It's a story that needs to be told time-and-time again until people get a clue.

Let's give it a little more exposure taking a swoop into the darkside with just a few more clues to the intersection of it all:
Here's the most recent mainstream media-dump from AZBM and pretty pictures too:  Let's color it brown and bold and set-the-stage for more manipulation of what passes as news, adding once more main character tied to Mesa's past: 
Technology, transit and a solid vision brings Mesa’s rebirth

"Very few people can match Karrin Taylor Robson’s connection to downtown Mesa. 
Young Karrin Kunasek grew up on 2nd Avenue and celebrated her only birthday party as a child at Pioneer Park. Her brother Andy was born at Southside Hospital, which is now home to Benedictine University’s Mesa campus. . ."  Source: AZ BigMedia 17 hours ago
Yup, that's off to a good start where Karrin grew up that includes the recent high-price $12M Re-do of Pioneer Park.

"The Rise of Mesa's Innovation District' in February 2018 @ MAC

". . .Taylor Robson remembers rushing around downtown Mesa as a girl of 11 or 12, making deliveries for one of her father’s pharmacies. That particular pharmacy, Lewis Drug, was located where the Mesa Arts Center, the crowning jewel of downtown Mesa, now stands. . . "  Huh? 'crowning jewel' ???

Ooooh that's nice script using two surnames connected with more Mesa history, but let's update it with Taylor Robson's appearing far right on the stage at the Mesa Art Center's Ikeda Theater in February 2018 for the $40,000 forum presented by The Brookings Institution "Rise of Mesa's Innovation District" where she was introduced as a member of the GPEC. Not revealed at that time was her role as a principal in THE GRID PROJECT also involving the person next to her Jenny Poons, whose company Co+Hoots is the anchor of the privately-financed project by developer Tony Wall on a city-owned parking garage.

"This could be a Mesa girl does good story.

But it’s really a story about how good it is for Mesa that a Mesa girl did good. Karrin Kunasek Taylor was born and reared in Mesa. She graduated from Mountain View High School and received her law degree from Arizona State University. Her eyes lit up as she talked about growing up in Mesa where her father, veteran lawmaker and former Arizona Senate President Carl Kunasek, owned three drug stores*
Karrin Kunasek Taylor was born and reared in Mesa. She graduated from Mountain View High School . . .

"Mesa is moving in the right direction and I’m proud to be a part of that.Indeed. There is no denying her role in Mesa’s future and present.
Taylor is executive vice president and chief entitlements officer for DMB Associates.
Blogger Note:
She previously was a principal at the law firm Biskind, Hunt & Taylor, PLC.

_________________________________________________________________________DMB is a Scottsdale-based developer that six years ago bought five square miles - 3,200 acres that the City of Mesa purchased with taxpayer-money - of what had once been the General Motors Proving Grounds.
On it is staked much of Mesa’s future as well as DMB’s success.
The company on its website predicts that the area it has named Eastmark will become “the future heart and hub of the East Valley" . . .
Taylor’s job has been to work with government and others who have a stake in the future of that 3,200 acres in southeast Mesa.
She said her task has been to manage “a huge zoning case.”
But it has become much more than that and that’s why I first crossed paths with Taylor while working not on a column about Eastmark but about rumblings of discontent over Arizona’s seeming laissez-faire approach to new aerospace opportunities.
“Call Karrin Taylor,” I was told when I asked how I could learn more about a meeting held in Mesa Mayor Scott Smith’s office on Jan. 4. . .
What she does is her passion. It’s out of her love for Arizona, Mesa and a sense of civic responsibility,” Smith continued, making note of her father’s many years in the legislature and with the Arizona Corporation Commission.
