A potential law in Arizona just isn't as big a news story as it's being made out to be yet. It'll be big news once Brewer signs it into law. |

I wonder if people will be outraged, boycott US corporations that do business in India because of their Gay sex ban with a penalty of 10 years imprisonment? The Olympics didn't leave Russia for their anti-gay laws. I have a feeling we'll keep employing Indians and conducting business with that country of over 1 billion people.

Arizona in running for $5 billion Tesla battery factory
http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/n...5-billion.html
I really hope our leaders make a strong push for this, because you know Texas will be. This will bring high paying jobs, and further diversify our economy. And with the Apple, Intel, Google Fiber, and Phoenix Mart the area could become the next Austin in terms of becoming a tech hub. |

I doubt we have much chance after the SB1062 bullshit, unfortunately.

I love the media bias.
CNN three days ago: Headline: ARIZONA PASSES ANTI-GAY BILL CNN today: sidebar link: Ariz. Gov. vetoes anti-gay bill That's just as hurtful in reality. Now tons of people who don't know any better or read anything else think it was passed and supported by everyone in Arizona and is now law. If the media was less sensational, rational people would understand it wasn't supported by a majority of businesses and people in Arizona and isn't likely to (and didn't) become a law. |

Phoenix one of 8 cities in the running for the 2016 Republican Convention
http://www.azcentral.com/news/politi...onvention.html
While I don't agree with their platform, a convention of this size is a welcome and needed shot in the arm for our revamped convention center and new/revamped hotels. Unfortunately, this guy is our cheerleader. Former U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., is chairing Phoenix’s effort to secure the GOP convention. Phoenix was a finalist for the party’s 2012 convention, but lost out to Tampa. “I don’t know that we have a really great shot, but I think we’ve got a good shot,” Kyl told The Arizona Republic in January. |
^ It'd be nice, not sure how the looniness in the State House will effect that though. It still is surprising to me we didn't get it in our Centennial Year when our State Senator had just been the prior cycle nominee.

Completely agreed! Love them or hate them, we need more people like Colangelo, Gordon, Crowe, Graham. They may not have always had the best ideas...but they have always made things happen in the Phoenix and Tempe area.... imagine what the city wouldn't have if it weren't for those 4 guys alone fighting to make things happen. |
The reality is that it will not come here, not due to inadequate lobbying on the state's behalf, although that won't help. Both parties want conventions in swing states these days, typically ones that the party isn't sure they can win, to give them an edge. The last two Republican conventions were in St. Paul, MN and Tampa. The last two Democratic conventions were in Denver and Charlotte. Arizona just isn't purple enough. Yet. There is also the perception that it is too damned hot here that time of the year. All the boosterism in the world can't change those things. The smart money is on one of the 3 Ohio cities.

You all need to be at the final ReInvent PHX event tonight if you haven't gone. The Mayor will be there, and there will be snacks, what else could you ask for?
6-8pm tonight at the PHX Financial Center South Rotunda on Central/Osborn. The city, design team, etc. need your input on how to make the best form based code possible for the northern sections of the LRT line. I'll be there, come say hi :) |
So I am spending my first night away from downtown Phoenix in 11 years (not counting vacations) and I drove down to my old place to try to find my cat, the traffic is so bad. I'm glad to be gone. So quiet up here uptown.
Never did find that stupid cat! |
