The Wasatch Contract Manufacturing Quote of the Day: Money May Not Buy Happiness

by WasatchLabs | May 21, 2017

Here's what they say: "An image quote and a text quote; kind of like the kind of value you get from Wasatch Contract Manufacturing! Give us a call!
“Money may not buy happiness, but happiness may help you get rich.”
—wisely phrased By Tony Schwartz ??? Huh? and then
"Always good stuff from Tony Schwartz, but if you really want a great quote on innovative liquid food product formulation and packaging, give us a call at Wasatch Contract Manufacturing at 801-809-7766, or visit our info site at wasatchcontractmanufacturing.com."

The original source was this press release feed on - of all things - a site called Military Technologies.net. Why there? Who knows: it's just one of the hordes of sites publishing free releases, and Wasatch has some kind of contract manufacturing operation here in Mesa.

In God & Real Estate We Trust > NO It's Not 'Tea-Baggers'

Yes, City of Mesa Planning Director John Wesley does know full well about conservative politics here in the Blob that's eating-up the eastern part of The Valley of The Sun - the seeds of sprawl were planted over 135 years ago by the so-called "Pioneers', a contingent of Mormon families sent from Utah to establish their corner of The Kingdom called Desert on their way trying to claim more territory in Mexico. The named the original one-square mile Zion:The Promised Land, with some of those promised gains continuing to materialize for a selected few of their descendants here in Mesa today 

Some commentators use the phrase 'Mormon Mafia' to describe them, while Wesley smartly uses the less-tinged word 'Tea-Baggers' in this article published yesterday.

In the online post at Planetizen reporter Josh Stephens interviews Wesley back in March. He's a long-time holder of the planning director's office - who uses an analogy for what he calls Tea-Baggers to refer to the LDS descendants who still exercise control and monopoly on the lands and real estate holdings [and affiliated businesses] here that have now sprawled over 133 square miles, who have controlled conservative politics for 4-5 generations and continue to control real estate development now with overlapping interests in family members' trusts and undisclosed business relationships throughout the chain-of-command inside and outside City Hall.

Indeed many former and present office holders - or appointed and/or hired officials on city boards and committees throughout Mesa's history - have been either presidents or bishops in a widespread network of LDS wards and stakes located everywhere in the City of Mesa. While now a demographic minority, members of the faith exercise a majority control in nearly everything here where very few citizens and other members of the public are not engaged or involved.

Perhaps the reporter didn't know that in March a group of let's just say 'like-minded investors' somehow managed to buy up about a dozen properties in the downtown area, getting owners to sell-out by manipulating the real estate market with offers to purchase @ $100 per square foot - wanna call that 'flirting with urbanization'?

America's Largest Suburb Flirts With Urbanization

John Wesley leads the charge to introduce urbanism into mega-suburb of Mesa, Arizona.

May 18, 2017, 8am PDT | Josh Stephens | @jrstephens310 

A time-line of Mesa's sprawl can be seen in the video insert to the left.

Mesa sprawls and sprawls-some-more into the record books as America's largest suburb. At 472,000 residents, it tops Atlanta, Miami, Minneapolis, and Cleveland, among others. . . the non-stop sprawl expanded just this week with another 700+-acre expansion at master-planned community Eastmark in the approval process with the Planning & Zoning Board.

Here's the video, uploaded to YouTube on Dec 14, 2016 with a 32-year time lapse of urban sprawl in Mesa, Arizona . . it goes by fast!
Mesa is a city in Maricopa County, in the U.S. state of Arizona, and is a suburb located about 20 miles east of Phoenix. Mesa is the central city of the East Valley section of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Readers can hit the link to Planetizen to read more.

 

 

TRUMPERY: What Form Will The Final Debacle Take?

An opinion piece in The Boston Globe from your MesaZona blogger's most frequent Twitter communicator:
This isn’t tyranny — it’s Trumpery
By Niall Ferguson   May 15, 2017
On Twitter > https://twitter.com/nfergus 

Last September, I observed that the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was a choice between SNAFU — situation normal, all effed up — and FUBAR — effed up beyond all recognition. My argument was that enough voters were sufficiently fed up with the status quo, as personified by Clinton, to gamble on the political outsider Trump, in the full knowledge that the ultimate result might be not to make America great again but to eff it up beyond all recognition.
Last week President Trump took several steps down the road to being FUBAR himself. The question about his presidency is, increasingly, what form the final debacle will take. I still don’t think it’s going to be Watergate II. And I certainly don’t buy the argument made by the Yale historian Timothy Snyder (and many other Ivy League liberals) that Trump is a tyrant bent on overthrowing American democracy.
Trump isn’t Nixon. He most certainly isn’t Hitler, the comparison implied by Snyder’s best-selling booklet “On Tyranny.’’ He’s Trump. And what we have to contend with is not tyranny but trumpery.

Look it up in the Oxford English Dictionary, which offers two definitions:
“1. Deceit, fraud, imposture, trickery.
2. ‘Something of less value than it seems’; hence, ‘something of no value; trifles’ (Johnson);worthless stuff, trash, rubbish.”

KEEPING YOU INFORMED > Up to YOU Now To Take Action

For months now, our opposition in the Senate has been scrambling to gather enough votes to roll back common-sense standards limiting the dangerous climate pollution emitted by the oil & gas industry on our federal and tribal lands. They just lost the vote—and their chance to strip these crucial clean air and climate protections has slipped away.

But your Senator stood with them, choosing to put the interests of polluters above the health and safety of Americans. We need to hold every Senator who stood on the wrong side of this vote accountable.

Your Senator did the wrong thing.
Take action today, and make sure your Senator hears that straight from you!

Let's Make-A-Deal: Dead Fiesta Mall Real Estate Make-Over

Not exactly that many details about who the players are in a $6.72-million dollar deal cash purchase of the gigantic 380,000-square-foot mall, but according to what's written by the Arizona Republic newby tag-team of reporters Jessica Boehm and Catherine Roeger just before midnight yesterday, the struggling on-life-support nearly dead mall is about to get new life thanks to an infusion of another $30 million bucks by the new owners.
Briefly mentioned in the article is what plans another now-so-new owner has in mind or what the City of Mesa's Office for Economic Development has in mind to enact GPLET tax incentives for developers that cannot go into effect until one year after and if and when those tax give-aways might get approved.
Mesa Economic Development Director Bill Jabjiniak said Fiesta Mall is major part of the city's redevelopment efforts in west Mesa, and he said it's critical that the new owners and the existing tenants in the area share a vision.
"There has to be more discussion and more information provided on their vision. l would like to see the whole comprehensive plan presented," Jabjiniak said

Who's to say it's 'a good buy' ???
Investors with cash are sinking it into raising hopes for capital havens in lower-risk locations at low-bottom prices - there's a clincher though brought up by man-of-action behind-the-scenes Bill Jabjiniak, the head of Mesa's OED that he calls "sharing the vision", while cheerleader-on-the-sidelines Mesa Mayor John says as usual "He is excited . . . "  
Developer buys Mesa's Fiesta Mall, plans makeover into health, education campus
11:17 p.m. MT 18 May 2017
"Buyers plan to invest $30 million in nearly vacant mall after purchasing it for $6.72 million. Fiesta Mall in Mesa, once a giant in the southeast Valley shopping scene, has been sold to a duo of developers who plan to transform the withering mall into a campus focused on health and education . . ."

HOW MIGHT THAT WORK?
Identified in the article as the principals and players in the deal are:
1. New owners Dimension Financial & Realty Investments Inc., spearheaded by Jerry Tokoph and Wayne Howard
2. The seller was LNR Properties LLC, a Florida-based firm that took over the property in 2013 from mall operator Macerich, which bought it in 2004.
3. The appropriately named Cashen Realty Advisors brokered the deal for Dimension Financial and will be marketing the project.
"We want to re-create the space into a campus environment primarily for community colleges and for-profit schools," said Ray Cashen of Cashen Realty Advisors.
Areas will be designed for medical learning centers and colleges, he said.
Housing, eating and entertainment venues also are planned.
Complications maybe: Multiple ownership
This sale includes the majority of the interior portion of Fiesta Mall but does not include the Sears, Dillard's, the former Macy's and recently closed Best Buy/Dick's Sporting Goods buildings.
Developer Scott Jackson owns the Macy's and Best Buy/Dick's buildings.
Sears and Dillard's clearance center are owned by those retailers.
Jackson, who is redeveloping his buildings as office or mixed-use space, said he was not yet aware of the new mall owner's plans or how his ventures will fit into them.
