Hizzoner Jivin' John Giles > SHAMELESS Distortions of The Reality Of Pioneer Park

 
Let's have a REALITY CHECK right here and right now:

It's telling testimony in just one minute . . Yup "Covering Mesa" the way city-owned and taxpayer-funded Mesa Channel 11 wants you to see one of The Great Public Spaces in America!
How many members of the public do you see in this clip? Families?
Who exactly is gathering?

"Pioneer Park is now a thriving public space"
NOTE: What "gathering" DO YOU SEE? Looks like a staged appearance of city officials to flash a questionable award arranged by an insider fix
STATEMENT IN THE VIDEO BY HIZZONER
"Pioneer Park is the place our community gathers"
Mebbe the same 'community" that used to publish an annual one-dimensional view of Mesa called Our Town ??????
Here it the uploaded video published on Oct 22, 2019 after city officials got the award plaque they ordered and paid for

 
Go see and read the Re-Do of a press release dated September 25, 2019 from The City of Mesa News Room that now has inserted this video clip just published a month later on October 22, 2019
