Blogger's Note Re: Item 5-c : Mayor John Giles states his opposition to approval, getting outvoted 6-1 by every single other member of the Mesa City Council.
Readers of this blog might also might like to note that his outspoken support for a tax hike increase to benefit "special interests" was resoundingly defeated by Mesa voters in spite of the over $500,000 raised for a bogus public relations fiasco by a political action committee located at the same address as his private law firm on 2nd Street.
  Extensive discussion about item 5-c over LIHTC-financed development and Market-rate housing options . . . please watch and listen to favorable and oppositional points-of-view that take up most of the time
Mesa Housing Associates developers Charles Huellmantel and Todd Marshall address the council after the public comments.

Though capitalism seems like just plain common-sense nowadays, it is a theory of human society with a distinctive history and set of assumptions.
