PMGA An Air Cargo Hub? ,,,from AZ Big Mierda [not a mis-spelling]

BIG PROMISES in uncertain times - SkyBridge was projected to create approximately 17,000 jobs according to a glowing press release from AZ Governor Doug Duceyin 2018.Keep in mind there's a big election this year to put this over-the-top prediction in perspective.  SkyBridge Mesa  air freight handling operations are projected to  total approximately $390 million per year. That  is expected to double by the year 2025.
Cross your legs - the basis for that projection is questionable for streamlined customs import/export expedited inspection for goods and products  with Mexico.
Here's  David Luna, more like window-dressing from Venezuela trying to tune in to new negotiations with Mexico ....it's out of his league in District 5.
In regards to NAFTA Arizona businesses and product manufacturers are questioning what the future holds for trade between the countries. Does Luna even have a clue? Doesn't look like it, but at this point-in-time we simply don't know and really can't say

How SkyBridge Arizona will affect businesses and residents

Growth of air freight between Arizona and Mexico has grown 30 percent since 2011, outperforming all other cargo-transportation methods nationally. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport became home to the nation’s first air hub cargo processing center in January, which according to the office of Gov. Doug Ducey, was projected to create approximately 17,000 jobs in 2018. SkyBridge Arizona totals approximately $390 million per year and is expected to double by the year 2025.

And we have "a crisis' in affordable housing: SHELTER, another basic necessity.

Mebbe it's time for re-distribution of wealth

Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, and food banks have designated September as Hunger Action Month – a time when Americas [sic Americans)  are urged to help take action on the national hunger crisis.
"We are making progress on this issue,” Dave Richins United Food Bank CEO, said, adding that United Food Bank has helped make a striking impact through its programs and outreach in helping Arizonans out of poverty throughout its 19,000-square-mile service area covering five counties. . . .

We have lot of work left to do he said. But “we have a system in place to continue to chip away at this.”

 

 

 

 

 

                            

Who? What? Wheeler-Dealer Worsley Selected As 2018 Leader of The Year In Government

"Sen. Bob Worsley, a Republican from Mesa, is the Arizona Capitol Times’ Leaders of the Year winner in government."  That's right - that's what the headline says: Worsley is the Arizona Capitol Times' Leaders of the Year winner in government".
That might be an award from ACT, but Worsley abruptly resigned as AZ State Senator when his behind-the-scenes act as a private Mega-Millionaire real estate speculator in Mesa met public anger. Yes, what is published in media does matter - he was caught and exposed. He chose to leave public office due to a perceived or real conflict-of-interest. He's washed-up in public trust.

OK, then why did Worsley choose to resign so abruptly months ago when he's chosen as this year's ACT wiinner for a leader in government now ??? It could be due to this:

On Monday, the Mesa City Council ignored the wishes of the public and elected to move forward with plans to build new facilities for ASU. In 2016, Mesa Mayor John Giles said voters sent a clear message when they rejected a proposed increase in the city sales tax to fund the facility.

Mesa A College Town? Lessons Learned By Westminster College

Hmmm....just another one of those downtown transformation 'things' that didn't quite live up to expectations? Well that's a nice way to put it to say the least. Who failed to deliver what is not part of what could be a blame game, and it's not addressed in an article yesterday when Westminster College got some space to help make Mesa "a college town" and to fill up empty, un-used and unoccupied 52,000++ sq ft  in city-owned former police building re-named MESA CENTER FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.

It was ideal to have been offered to ASU at that time, but perhaps the bright minds inside City had other plans back in 2012.
This article from yesterday puts a positive spin on that untold story. Here's an excerpt:

Westminster's Mesa campus closed within first year

Low enrollment created a $300,000 deficit first year

September 2nd, 2018 by Phillip Sitter

". . . Though the creation of the Mesa campus apparently did not cost Westminster College much financially, the school was still paying at least tens of thousands of dollars for its closure for years after, according to annual audits.

When Westminster entered a five-year lease with the city of Mesa in 2013 — the campus building was owned by the city — the agreement through July 31, 2018, carried with it extension and cancellation provisions, subject to penalties. . . "

". . . Westminster College's campus in Mesa, Arizona, was intended to be a financial booster for the main campus in Fulton, but the venture failed to live up to expectations and closed before it could become its own financial drain on the home school — after just one year of operation.
The city of Mesa had sent out an invitation for the campus, and the campus' start-up funds were covered through $10 million of alumni fundraising — so the effort did not put a direct financial strain on the college, . . "
