There’s significant opportunity to make the government more capable of delivering for Americans, and ironically it will actually cost less not more.

Help advance a person's career with proper training, not just paying a little more in min wage and keeping them forever in lower level positions. The min wage advocates are doing it completely backwards. bizjournals.com/phoenix/news… via @phxbizjournal

The $18 min wage proposal in AZ is equivalent to cities like San Francisco raising it to $25-$30. Even they don't go that far. In real terms, AZ's min wage is already higher than many. Instead, train people! Astonishingly dumb proposal. bizjournals.com/phoenix/news… via @phxbizjournal

Arizona minimum wage increase faces pushback as it heads for ballots

Arizona already has one of the highest statewide minimum wages in the United States, but a new ballot measure would bump the minimum to $18 an hour. It's already facing a lot of pushback.

A classic economics misinterpretation. A housing market "recovery" is getting everything back into balance, including a return to the historical trend for prices. Higher prices means housing is going to be even more unaffordable. This negatively impacts economic growth.

One housing expert believes the Phoenix housing market can post "new record highs in the coming year." bizjournals.com/phoenix/news…

Phoenix housing market likely to fully recover in 2024, one expert predicts

The Phoenix housing market may not have reached the halcyon days of the summer of 2022, but there's reason to believe the market is on the right track.

NEW must-read column from @dbseiden pushes back on misinformation about Arizona’s workforce & water situation. AZ is and will remain a top destination for manufacturing investment thanks to a skilled workforce & decades of smart water planning & policy. foreignpolicy.com/2023/08/15…

Arizona Is Not Running Out of Water or Workers

The state will remain a destination for foreign investment due to a skilled workforce, leadership in water conservation, and low tax burdens.

Is there a proper analysis to review? If ESA’s cost less per student, capture it. In short/mid term, adjust for fixed costs at the district schools. Adjust for any other district specific cost. Part 2, calc econ gains from any performance points. Etc. Etc. Fairly simple stuff.

I say let’s not forget our original fight and not give in this time…me included. JLBC’s report from ADE regarding their estimate for ESAs in FY 24 is $900,000,000 which is significantly above what was in the approved budget. See you on the 12th! @AZSenateDems @AZHouseDems

Flashbacks to fourteen years on tempe city council, ten as mayor. I miss a lot about public service; such entertainment weekly, well, maybe not so much. But we respectfully listen. And then we move on and do the work of democracy we were elected to do.

The economy is often on Arizonans' minds. And it's a particularly thought-provoking — and important — factor during election season. To learn how important the economy is in the election, The Show speaks with @_jimrounds and Joe Garcia of @CPLCcommunity. bit.ly/3gizORU

Sun Devils, we have another #1 ranking to celebrate! For the eighth year in a row, @ASU is No. 1 in innovation in the newly released annual #BestColleges rankings by @usnews. More: ow.ly/ewTz50KH8QQ

This is Innovation at Arizona State University (ASU)

But what does innovation look like? And how do we find new ways to enrich our communities? These questions continue to drive our passion to innovate. And this year was no different.

If we are already in a recession (we aren't quite there BTW), then we should be coming out of it around September. Thus, if you are a "recession now" candidate, then you must start saying that things are about to get much better. Well played! 🤔
