That might be an award from ACT, but Worsley abruptly resigned as AZ State Senator when his behind-the-scenes act as a private Mega-Millionaire real estate speculator in Mesa met public anger. Yes, what is published in media does matter - he was caught and exposed. He chose to leave public office due to a perceived or real conflict-of-interest. He's washed-up in public trust.
On Monday, the Mesa City Council ignored the wishes of the public and elected to move forward with plans to build new facilities for ASU. In 2016, Mesa Mayor John Giles said voters sent a clear message when they rejected a proposed increase in the city sales tax to fund the facility.

About Arizona Capitol Times
"Arizona News Service is a multi-faceted Capitol news service that produces Arizona Capitol Times, Legislation On-Line Arizona (LOLA), Arizona Legislative Report, The Yellow Sheet Report, azlobbyists.com, Citizen Government Guide, Government Resource Directory, Book of Lobbyists, The Guide to the Legislature (The Green Book) and a host of other special publications and focus issues for the legislative, business and legal communities. ANS also hosts a number of events for the Capitol community including Best of the Capitol, Leaders of the Year in Public Policy, Meet the Candidates, Rock the Capitol: Meet the Freshmen, Morning Scoops and Capitol Roadshow. Arizona News Service was founded in 1906, six years before Arizona became a state.
The Arizona Capitol Times is known among Arizona politicos as the leading source of political news from the state Capitol and beyond. We highlight the most important issues of the moment, from a non-partisan and well-researched perspective that is critical to our readers.
Simply put, we are the nexus between state government and the public. And we are focused on our niche; if it doesn’t impact politics in Arizona, we don’t cover it.
Our coverage influences policy, defines important issues and connects the various communities that make up state government.
The newspaper is published weekly on Fridays, and the Web site www.azcapitoltimes.com is updated by the minute as news breaks.
The newspaper was operated as The Messenger and Arizona Legislative Review before taking the name Arizona Capitol Times in 1982.
In 2005, Arizona News Service, which includes Arizona Capitol Times, was purchased by Minneapolis-based Dolan Media Company, Inc (later renamed The Dolan Company).
In January 2016, The Dolan Company was purchased by GateHouse Media and renamed BridgeTower Media.
