It's just a reminder from our Honorable Mayor John Giles about who rules here in Mesa: The Latter-Day Saints.
In their short-sighted version of history, "They" arrived here in the Mid-1850's on a mission sent from Salt Lake City,Utah to expand what they think is their corner of The Kingdom Deseret - The New Zion - by claiming rights-to-lands and waters in The Salt River Valley (Rio Salado) flowing in pre-existing canals in what was to become The Arizona Territory.
With a population of 350 lost souls living among thousands of First Peoples, they staked their claims to the original One-Square Mile, right among more than thousands of First People who have lived on the lands for centuries and generations before they got here.
With that said, who did the mayor take the time to honor at a recent Mesa City Council Meeting as "one of our own"?
Is he an elected city councilmember? No
Is he a hired employee inside City Hall? Yes
Was he educated at Brigham Young University? Yes
What was the honor bestowed on him?
(It's from BYU honoring 'one of their own', but they don't tell you that detail - you'll have to watch the uploaded YouTube streaming vid inserted below . . . it was a painting by a former teacher in Public Admin)
Blogger Note: Like so many of those elected here in Mesa and those getting hired and receiving taxpayer-funded salaries and so many others - including the mayor, the city attorney, and the city manager - they are all alumni of Brigham Young University. Many have served as Bishops and Presidents in LDS Stakes in a network of closely connected friends-and-families.
They effectively monopolize and control Government/Politics, Finance, Insurance and Real Estate here in the City of Mesa. THEY OWN THE CITY OF MESA: Lock, Stock + Barrel

Mesa City Council Meeting Mon 05 Nov 2018
First of all notice all the empty seats. An invocation and a trio of Boy Scouts for the Pledge Allegiance. Followed right away by Mesa Mayor John Giles saying he is excited to honor "one of our own" - City Manager Chris Brady. What honor was it? Has anyone even heard of - or know about - some of these not-so-prestigious awards given to Chris Brady??
A dire need to bolster his reputation . . . no press release from the City of Mesa Newsroom
Watch it right here in the first few minutes: it's been especially staged for your viewing:
