Whether you choose to exercise your fundamental and guaranteed YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW is your choice.
Here in the City of Mesa there is little or no public participation in the elected government - unless the entrenched Political Machine manages to muster a flurry of interest, or if certain proposals or projects are controversial.
Otherwise
"it's business-as-usual"
