More Spoon-Fed Crap Masquerading As "News": Let's Give That MORE VISIBILITY!

GAG ME AGAIN! Yuk! Classic Robin Hood Scheme: Rob from The Poor and Give $892,000 to The Rich! Fark that!
According to what Vic Linoff said in this piece of Spoon-Fed news written by ever-reliable EV Tribune staff writer Jim Walsh, "outgoing legislator Bob Worsley is interested in restoring the buildings he owns in the area to their original appearance and adding neon signs and other traditional touches that would set Mesa’s downtown apart from others."

Here's some "neon" reality, guys!

Let's Get Real: Behind-the-façade of this so-called Façade Improvement Project lurks rampant downtown real estate speculation by some conservative Republican Mesa Mormon Republican Millionaires like AZ State Senator Bob Worsley who admitted publicly back in February in 2018 that he's gambling in brokering real estate deals while holding public office for what he says is  $20M - his own money or not? _____________Is it just a coincidence that the same 10 buildings purchased by that private wealth-creation group are the same ten privately-owned properties that will profit from almost $900,000 in public money?

Here's some more gag-worthy comments from Jeff Robbins, a management assistant who works closely with McVay on downtown projects : "The project’s intent is to capitalize on downtown’s unique assets, which have been obscured and minimized in the past", he said. TO CAPITALIZE FOR WHOM?
“If it all comes to fruition, this will be one of the most attractive business districts in the Valley,’’ Linoff said.

Part of Mesa's hated colonnade to come tumbling down

By Jim Walsh Tribune Staff Writer Sep 20, 2018 Updated 15 hrs ago

VERBATIM: Mesa’s much-maligned downtown colonnade — a lumbering shade structure installed by the city in the 1980s in front of most Main Street businesses — will be torn down this fall to encourage redevelopment. . . Jeff McVay, the city’s manager of downtown transformation, said the project is needed to create more visibility for downtown storefronts, helping businesses attract more customers and helping landlords attract more businesses, particularly restaurants. . .   Mesa hopes it will attract a significant number of new businesses and new jobs while injecting more vitality into the area, McVay said.

He said the project is a perfect fit with Mesa’s creation of a new downtown campus for Arizona State University in a building planned near ASU.
“Visually, it will have a great impact,’’ McVay said. “This will help landlords land new restaurants.’’

Here's AZ State Senator Bob Worsley and Mesa Mayor John Giles with two of the principals from Caliber Wealth Fund and Worsley's  business partner in Habitat Metro W. Tim Sprague, who took ten years to finish a small hotel Found Re: in an already existing in Phoenix.  

Together they have plans for a $130,000,000 luxury 15-story hotel complex and another multi-million dollar Habitat Metro project - both on city-owned parking lots next to Main Street.
