Here In Mesa > Income Inequality + Food Insecurity Make National and Local News

Are you better off now than 4 years ago? 
Are you enjoying the so-called "affordable city" that Hizzoner Mayor John Giles brags about all the time?
The AZ National Guard has been deployed to help feed the hungry.
No fear. . .
District 1 Mesa City Council member Mark Freeman said months ago  he was shocked to see hundreds of cars waiting in lines for hours to get emergency food-boxes at the Mesa Convention Center - if you see something, say something!       
OK. There's an urgent emergency from the COVID-19 Pandemic now that only worsens more than 40 years of distress and neglect.
It's not "a pretty picture" and far from the image of the City of fast-growing Mesa that risky speculator-politicians want you to believe in. There may  now be another "Crane-in-the-Sky" soaring above City Hall but on the ground those less fortunate are forced to need help and wait in long lines for a basic need - food.
