Merry Christmas!

 As 2016 draws to a close, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the citizens of Arizona for a wonderful year.

The holiday season provides an opportunity for all of us to reflect on those who have made a significant and meaningful impact on our lives.

To family, friends, and fellow Arizonans, I thank you for your tireless efforts and dedication to ensuring Arizona is the greatest state in the nation. It is a privilege and an honor to serve as your governor.

From my family to yours, we wish you a very merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, and a peaceful and prosperous new year.

Yimby Nation: The Rise of America's Pro-Housing Political Coalition
Ahh - another calendar year is soon to close the books yet there are so many stories, unfinished or in-the-works, to be told in one way or another. . . the journalistic beat goes on.
Someone who writes and publishes news/opinion/information may never know what happens "behind-the-scenes", except when someone covers their information with a frequent phrase "You didn't hear this from me", but we do see public actions staged, contrived or spontaneous that are testaments to people getting activated and engaged in social intercourse.
Hold on! Did your MesaZona blogger just write that last word? Not in the carnal sense of the word, but in the civics sense of the word: the theoretical and practical aspects of citizenship, its rights and duties; the duties of citizens to each other as members of a political body and to the government. . . Case in point = Attainable and affordable housing

Happy Holidays from the Mesa Chamber of Commerce > Not For Minimum-Wage Increase

Business groups including several chambers of commerce are appealing a court ruling regarding the implementation of Arizona's voter-approved minimum wage hike that is set to go into effect on Jan. 1.

The Arizona Republic reports the groups behind a lawsuit that seeks to overturn Proposition 206, which passed in November, have decided to appeal this week's ruling by a Maricopa County judge who refused to halt the implementation, which calls for Arizona's minimum wage to rise to $10 next month

INFOGRAPHICS Say & Tell So Much

Our Favorite Infographics Of 2016 Are A Crash Course In How The World Works

Here's just one in the accompanying image above where tall  buildings represent the wealthy; short ones represent the poor. What's missing? The middle class
In addition to the problems of income inequality and the shrinking middle class, these 10 infographics—our favorites that we wrote about in 2016—also explain our energy, financial, and shipping systems, the global population boom, our diets, and when your job will be taken by a robot. Couple those with a series of maps that will reframe how you think about geopolitics and you have the start of an understanding of the world we are living in today: interconnected, increasingly automated, and full of vast inequities. Please absorb them well and get ready for 2017.
