Put something on the front page and see what happens...

Its very interesting to see what happens when a story is put on the front page of the Valley and State section on Sunday. The Republic places a Gary Nelson rehash on the front page on Sunday and now instead of the 1 or 2 pages of comments, there are 4 or 5. It just goes to show that despite so many people who are engaged and are following this race closely, the large majority of folks do not pay attention, nor do they read the little Mesa Republic sections. In the wake of one of the greatest Super Bowls in recent history, here is something to consider as pointed out by a commenter named Jay4:

"Mesa could have been hosting the Bowl in a few hours....talk about revenue."

I still think its interesting that Claudia Walters is once again trying to take credit for finding Mesa's financial problems. This of couse, is a structural problem that has been there for years and years, but she was the one who found it? She might have been one of the first to really have to address it, but she certainly is not the one who found it. Pretty soon she'll be saying that she discovered the Hohokam Ruins and she was the one who lured the Cubs to come spring train out here.
