Taking-A-Turn At Scott Smith: A Game-Changer? ....Same Old Game

The Times Media Group has a near-monopoly covering what they want to make the news to be here in Mesa. Let's lift-the-curtain again to reveal something:
If ASU wants a campus here in downtown Mesa, ASU can well afford to pay it. *
Ex-mayor Scott Smith is just another in the cast of characters trying-to-game-taxpayers here in Mesa to take on more debt to pay for a radical transformation that would be Ground Zero for the massive speculation in real estate that devoured downtown Tempe.
It's TIME TO SAY NO to the schemes - tomorrow is the time to make sure taxpayers tell that to the Mesa City Council.

Who can forget the last time in 2016 they tried to turn another trick to convince Mesa taxpayers to pay for that ASU "satellite campus" ????
Goofy current Mayor John Giles, endorsed by Scott Smith to run the city when he resigned to wage an unsuccessful race to be governor, flopped big time two years trying to set-the-stage for a take-over when taxpayers REJECTED his lame act-public relations fiasco called Yes1Mesa that was privately-financed to the tune of over $500,000 by entrenched interests . . . Taxpayers just said NO!

It is time tomorrow to let every single one of the other six members sitting on the Mesa City Council to express your opinion on this ASU issue - it deserves action to move it forward as a ballot item on this November's General Election.

Here the "Guest Opinion" piece published today . . . Scott Smith is free to express his opinion. The same thing applies to everyone - it is your turn to get engaged!
(Note that there is no mention at all of "ghost writers" who probably drafted Scott's opinion)
Your Turn: An ASU campus would be a game-changer for downtown Mesa
