Virginia Korte: 🎓Education and Economic Development Create the Cornerstone of Our Community

For those of you who have followed my involvement in our community for the past 30 years, you know about my long-time commitment to education.  You are also aware of my interest in the revitalization of Southern Scottsdale where my family has deep roots for over 40 years.

Education and Southern Scottsdale are the topics of today’s email.

Scottsdale Gateway Alliance, an organization with which I have been affiliated for several years, has discovered some insightful data about Southern Scottsdale residents.  Approximately 2,000 people have taken part in the SGA survey during the past several months.

The survey found that 42% of the respondents have lived in Southern Scottsdale five or less years.  In addition, 57% of them have children enrolled in elementary schools.  From my perspective, the survey indicates that those of us working to revitalize this great area of our city also need to help ensure that our schools are providing students with the resources and opportunities to succeed.

I have committed years of time and effort to many “Yes to Children” campaigns to enrich our Scottsdale Unified School District’s programs and campuses.  In 2007 and 2014 I had the privilege of serving as the Honorary Chair of the “Yes To Children” campaigns; both were successful in passing the SUSD’s budget override proposals.  I will be supporting this group’s future endeavors to improve our schools and offer our students the best possible education.

I believe that building a strong education system and encouraging more economic development work together to create the cornerstone of the Southern Scottsdale community.

HAPPENING IN SCOTTSDALE - Guy Phillips

Government-Speak
You hear them talking or read a paragraph from a city document.
Everyday, they come up with new terms and words to describe what otherwise might not be acceptable to the public. It's called Government-Speak, likened to George Orwell's 1984, where today's progressive government probably got the idea.

An example might sound like this: “Even as stakeholders engage in inclusive dialogue, various forms of outreach on multi-model transportation will be the catalyst in the revitalization and connectivity as part of a diverse and multicultural community.” HUH??

Now read below the meanings they want you to get and what they really mean:
     Stakeholder: 

     What they want you to think: Applying to those who have a vested interest in an area, like you the            resident.
     What it really means: Those who have invested heavily in a certain outcome for their benefit.
     Outreach:
     What they want you to think: Engaging in public conversation for your input on city projects 

     before they start.
     What it really means: Pretending to care what you think when the project is already a done deal.
      Multi-modal:
     What they want you to think: a vast array of ways to move the public from point A to point B.

     What it really means: Light Rail, period.
     Dialogue:
     What they want you to think: Listening to both sides to be fair and balanced.

     What they really mean: Telling you what you will have to put up with.
     Inclusive:
     What they want you to think: Letting everyone join in. What they really mean: Forced acceptance

     by you.
     Consensus:
     What they want you to think: Coming to a majority conclusion during a non-voting work study

     session.
     What they really mean: If four agree, it will be done.
     Connectivity:    

     What they want you to think: Various ways of getting from one place to another.

     What they really mean: Light Rail, period.
     Multi-cultural:
     What they want you to think: many different races of people.

     What they really mean: LGBT

So now, the harmless statement above can be read as this: “Even as developers and council talk about including an LGBT ordinance, we still have to pretend to listen to the public via work study before deciding to run light rail through the downtown.”

Of course the last one backfired on them as we took any form of fixed rail out of the transportation master plan. Sometimes what's good for the goose is good for the gander!

Hair on Fire News Talk Radio/Trump Win with Bruce Ash

Trump Win Archive  Blog Talk Radio/Hair on Fire
TRUMP LAST MAN STANDING STILL NEEDS TO REACH 1237 DELEGATES
States that still need to hold elections NE, WV, OR, WA, CA, MT, NJ, NM, SD voters still need to vote in these states.

Trump now has 1053 delegates and it’s inconceivable that from the remaining 571 he won’t get the 184 delegates he’s required to reach 1237.

If you think presumptive nominee means Trump has it in the bag WRONG the delegates from the remaining states that need to have their elections could be up for grabs to highest bidder. Also candidates that have dropped out names may still be on ballots.
