Hizzoner Mesa Mayor John Giles was at it again in another one of those pitches as "Guest Writer' on the Opinion Page in Sunday's edition of the Times Media Group-owned The East Valley Tribune - for those who might have been out-of-town to escape the heat on beach or mountain vacations.

Summer was busy for Mesa city staffers

Here's the conclusion he wrote:
". . . As you can see, Mesa is safe, prosperous, fiscally sound, affordable and on the move. America’s 35th-largest city continues to earn top spots on many “best of” lists. I’m committed to keeping the momentum going and building a city we can all be proud of – even in the summer!

BLOGGER NOTE:
Hizzoner certainly likes 'to cherry-pick" what he calls top spots. However, WHAT'S NOT MENTIONED? Some spots no one can be proud of: concentrated extreme poverty, the lack of citizen engagement in their government, police-involved use of excessive force, politics-as-usual . . . and what about those "worst" lists??????
