Dialing-Back Ducey: Just Another Hand Played-Out In The Trump's House of Cards

Is the governor really that stone-cold stupid about Arizona's economy, and the Arizona Commerce Authority after Trump announced Mexico tariffs?  Ducey posted yesterday on Twitter.
Who's putting words in Ducey's mouth for Double-Talk like this
“Everyone knows I am opposed to tariffs and deeply value Arizona’s relationship with Mexico. I prioritize national security and a solution to our humanitarian crisis at the border above commerce."

OK. Opposed to tariffs ["Everyone knows that"] and COMMERCE is #3 on his list of priorities after "national security" and our "humanitarian crisis"  and what about that new e-commerce hub Mesa Skybridge?
Mebbe Hizzoner John Giles who's hyped and bragged about free trade with Mexico from the creation of the only ecommerce center in The Southwest promising thousands of jobs just might want to get into another huddle with Governor Ducey.
. . . Otherwise the Skybridge Ozone at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway just might not get off-the-ground

Is Ducey just "the water-boy" for the Trump-Pence Administration or is treading on thin ice?
Mexico's president fires back at Trump's tariffs threat

Trump's latest announcement could spell bad news for both Arizona's and the global economy.
The US will impose tariffs on Mexico, says President Trump

" . . . The announcement rattled investors who feared that worsening trade friction could hurt the global economy. The Mexican peso, U.S. stock index futures and Asian stock markets tumbled on the news, including the shares of Japanese automakers who ship cars from Mexico to the United States.

The president’s decision, announced on Twitter and in a subsequent statement, was a direct challenge to Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and took the Mexican government by surprise on a day when it had started a formal process to ratify a trade deal with the United States and Canada (USMCA).

It raised the risk of devastating economic relations with the biggest U.S. trade partner for goods. Mexico, heavily dependent on cross-border trade, rose to that ranking as a result of Trump’s trade war with China.

The measures against Mexico open up a new front on trade and if implemented are bound to trigger retaliation that would hit heartland, Trump-supporting farming and industrial states.
Higher tariffs will start at 5% on June 10 and increase monthly up to 25% on Oct. 1, unless Mexico takes immediate action, he said.
. . . Trump’s directive also spelled the potential for chaos for his efforts to get the U.S. Congress to approve the USMCA deal, which he negotiated as a replacement to the North American Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Doug Ducey, the governor of Arizona, which shares a 370-mile (595-km) border with Mexico, said on Twitter that he spoke to the White House and it was time for Congress to act on border security and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. . ."

Don't really like to get dicey with Governor Doug Ducey (or other politicians) but readers of this blog know how far that implausible denial goes!
If he's finding that insecure foster-child inside himself looking for a new daddy, perhaps he might look in other places or for a different deserving-of-respect role model - a step-mother who had his job as governor of The Great State of Arizona years before in 2003-2009 when he was growing up.

Just a timely coincidence yesterday and just a few hours before Trump announced a new Executive Order on Mexican tariffs KJZZ did a podcast on 

Former Gov. Janet Napolitano: The Border 'Is Not Inherently A Security Risk'

Former Gov. Janet Napolitano: The Border 'Is Not Inherently A Security ...

KJZZ-20 hours ago

In a tough election period for Democrats, Janet Napolitano came on the scene and was elected Arizona's attorney general. She then narrowly won the race for governor in 2002 before being re-elected in a 2006 landslide.

But on the national level, Napolitano is best known for taking on one of the most challenging positions in federal government — secretary of the Department Homeland Security. She served for five years in that position as one of the original cabinet secretaries in the Obama Administration.

National security remains at the heart of Napolitano’s first book, "How Safe Are We?"

The Show spoke with her when she was in Scottsdale for an event with Poisoned Pen Bookstore.

________________________________________________________________________________
Is it just another coincidence that the first DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano - a tough administrator and lawyer who served as

• the 21st Governor of Arizona from 2003 to 2009
• the United States Secretary of Homeland Security from 2009 to 2013, under President Barack Obama. has spoken out in recent days

In her new book, "How Safe Are We?," former Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano reflects on how secure the U.S. has been since 9/11. According to Napolitano, the most urgent threats America faces are climate change and cybersecurity -- not a crisis at the southern border.
We'll talk to Napolitano, who implemented Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in 2012 under President Obama, about immigration policy under President Trump, the current state of the Department of Homeland Security, as well as her role as president of the University of California system at a time of admissions scandals and free speech controversies in a podcast 08 April on KQED: Former Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano Asks: 'How Safe Are We?'

A Graphic Artist & The Implications of Things: Autonomous Driving

Your MesaZona blogger does not look at art as a tool for economic development. Though artists can be used that way, unwittingly or by consent, or by design or intent. Think I.M. Pei in Paris, or Judd in Marfa TX, LeCorbusier, Picasso or Banksy, or Frank Geary - and an entire pantheon of others.
We can all, however, agree that art has an impact. Here's the recent work of a San Francisco graphic artist opting for TOTAL IMMERSION:  out of her studio visiting [ and sleeping, eating, and showering in] truck stops.
Her images illustrate views of a mobile profession that delivers all of our consumer goods from the people who work in it.
It was a brief stop-over gig on-the-road in three states.

Here's Ryan Winkle: Ordinarily Doing What Is More Diverse Extra-Ordinary

Ryan Winkle, former Mesa City Council member and co-founder of RAILMesa, is working with the Arizona Asian Chamber of Commerce to develop and brand the Asian business district around the light rail in Mesa.

"They'll be partnering to kind-of-ground-roots in the Asian district and start forming their own identity more than before," Winkle told The Republic. "We've been working on it for years with people who love the area." 

With the closing of the Chinese Cultural Center in Phoenix last year, many see the Asian business district in Mesa as a natural successor to become a hub for Asian-Americans in the Valley.

Ryan Winkle has an extraordinary influence on people. It usually starts with a smile and a  strong abrazo from a multi-cultural guy who can speak fluently in more than three languages. Happily married with two children and a stunning wife, he embraces diversity as both a social activist and a social engineer with a Master's Degree in Urban Planning always open to new opportunities that can who help individuals, families, and businesses succeed.

Winkle also works closely with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Here's how they got there

by Lorraine Longhi |  Published 8:36 a.m. MT May 30, 2019

"With the Cultural Center, it was almost like someone built a place and said, 'Put Asian stores here,'" Winkle said. "No one was asking the Asian business people where they wanted to locate.

"With Mesa, no one told them, 'There's a great place, go there.'" he said. "They just did."

Whoopsies: A Yield Curve Inversion Roller Coaster
Upcoming data ‘may be the straw that breaks investors’ backs’. . . "A slice of the Treasury yield curve that usually signals a downturn inverted this week by the most since 2007, pushing beyond levels seen in March. That followed recent reports showing April declines for U.S. retail sales, factory output, business-equipment orders and home purchases, while a manufacturing gauge dropped in May to a nine-year low. . .

Yield Curve’s Turn Puts Microscope on Next U.S. Economic Reports

By Katia Dmitrieva and Liz McCormick | ‎May‎ ‎30‎, ‎2019‎ ‎2‎:‎00‎ ‎AM

Economic data in coming days will go a long way to show whether market concern of an imminent U.S. recession is justified. . .
It all puts even more weight than usual on the next round of economic reports, starting with Thursday’s revised reading of first-quarter growth and culminating with the May jobs report on June 7. Investors have also been fretting about the U.S.-China trade war after President Donald Trump raised tariffs this month and threatened more, with no end in sight for negotiations . . .
. . . companies have curbed investment or put it on hold while global growth slows and the U.S.-China tariff war clouds the outlook. That’s been compounded by the lack of trade pacts yet with Japan and the European Union, and the fact that the new U.S. agreement with Canada and Mexico remains in limbo.
The spread has inverted before each of the last three recessions, with Federal Reserve research highlighting its significance.
. . . Data Friday may show consumer spending and inflation were subdued in April, while surveys of factories and service providers will give a sense of the economy ahead of the all-important payroll and wage figures.

Markets expect the Fed to cut interest rates this year . . . “The downside risks to growth have certainly increased over the last couple of weeks,”

City of Mesa Sold-Off 132 Acres of Land Long-Promised For A Public Park

Why did that city-owned $25-Million "Land-Auction Deal" on the pristine desert site purchased for $4 million in 1998 really matter to someone like Verl Farnsworth, now an elder member of The Farnsworth Family who developed of lot of residential real estate here in Mesa for more than four decades? 
It might have been the traditional value-issue of "Promises Made Are Promises Kept" for him. For the City of Mesa it's a wind-fall $21-Million profit to pay-off some major debt . . .

For what? Residents of Red Mountain Park, a large and long-establish adjacent subdivision, have strongly and actively objected to "the deal" made on 132-acre neighboring land in northeast Mesa. 
They expected a park made in a promise by the city in the original intent.

Did the city listen to residents? NO. That action speaks the truth to what the current City Administration pays only "lip-service" to:"The Mesa City Council believes that its people, not leaders, are what makes a City great and actively works to encourage citizen participation in the decision-making process. Whether it is through neighborhood meetings, advisory boards and committees, telephone calls and letters, or email, the Mesa City Council sets policies based on the input and needs of its citizens."  [click or tap here ]
_________________________________________________________________________

On May 20, 2019 the Mesa City Council OK'd the deal with Desert Vista 101 LLC.
That's only the beginning of a one-to-four year process for "feasibility studies" where the property needs both a zoning change and a site plan approval before the company can close on the sale.
Wait - there's more to the story.
What to do with that $17-Million "windfall' gain and appreciation in value?

City Manager Chris Brady has said publicly that $4M (the original cost in 1998) from the "one-off" deal would be held 'in reserve" so that the city can deliver on the original intent of buying the property, even in the park and recreational facilities are scattered in other locations.
Although, no mention was made of how the city plans to use the $17-Million profit windfall from that land deal. It is clear to some it can go to underwrite plans to finance ASU in downtown Mesa. The same sales-scheme used by the city manager back in 2010 to pay off the $198-Million in public debt to build Sloan Park for a Chicago billionaire.
Brady calls that "leveraging" while sticking taxpayers with bills
Nobody is telling Brady where "he can stick it" where the Sun don't shine since the city's books have been scrubbed, but a few people are trying to shine some more light and transparency on what's been kept-in-the-dark from the eyes of the public. . . until now.
Here's what seems like an innocent announcement at the same time that "Land Auction Deal" selling off 132 acres promised-for-a-park got sold to a high-end developer of high-priced luxury housing was up for discussion.
On May 25th it was also announced that the City of Mesa was ranked in last place by The Real Park Source Index 2019 as best cities to live in for people who want to live nearby a park. (Subject of a featured post on this May 25, 2019)
Note in the city's press release, just five days before the city council approved the sale of publicly-owned property promised as parkland to a private real estate developer, who/what has been the sponsor - Musco Lighting LLC

Mesa announced as finalist for 2019 National Gold Medal Awards in parks and recreation

May 15, 2019 at 12:33 pm

Source: https://www.mesanow.org/news

The American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA), in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), is pleased to announce the City of Mesa Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities Department as a finalist for the 2019 National Gold Medal Awards for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management.

> Musco Lighting, LLC has been a proud sponsor of the Gold Medal Awards program for over 10 years.
Founded in 1965, the Gold Medal Awards program honors communities in the U.S. that demonstrate excellence in parks and recreation through long-range planning, resource management, volunteerism, environmental stewardship, program development, professional development and agency recognition.
Applications are separated into seven classes, with

• five classes based on population
• one class for armed forces recreation
• and one class for state park systems awarded on odd numbered years.

Mesa Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities is a finalist in the Class I (population 400,001 and over) category. Mesa joins three other finalists in their class that will compete for grand honors this year. The other finalists are from Chicago; Baton Rouge and Fairfax County, Virginia.
Agencies are judged on their ability to address the needs of those they serve through the collective energies of community members, staff and elected officials.
"Being named a finalist with other outstanding agencies from across the country is quite an honor and a tribute to our dedicated staff who work hard to provide top notch facilities and programs for our residents," Mesa Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities Director Marc Heirshberg said. "It also recognizes City management and our elected leaders who provide us the vision and support we need to carry out our mission."
A panel of five park and recreation professionals reviews and judges all application materials. Judges are chosen for their considerable experience and knowledge in parks and recreation on both the local and national levels. The City of Mesa was a Gold Medal finalist in 2014 and 2015 and won the Gold Medal in 1978, 1992 and 2000.
This year's finalists will compete for Grand Plaque Award honors this summer, and the seven Grand Plaque recipients will be announced live during the NRPA General Session at the 2019 NRPA Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland Sept. 24-26.
