Walked by the corner of this proposed park on Main Ave. x West Paseo Redondo, and there are now 33 bricks lying along the sidewalk, purchased by Supervisor Richard Elias, Councilmember Regina Romero, Downtown Tucson Partnership, Fox Tucson Theatre, Tucson Museum of Art, and other community members/artists. However, the brick by Mayor Robert Walkup is listed as stolen 3/2/11. Some are single bricks, others are double size. (No security or gluing onto anything so these bricks can be stolen).

Yes, Mayoral candidate Ron Asta did ask for people’s opinions whether he should stay in the race or not. See articles & comments in the Az Daily Star and Tucson Weekly below.

Looks like Asta wants the public to vote on whether he should run. LOL So all democrats and the Republican folks who want the other guy to win will vote big time. Bye Ron.

Thats the one. Can’t we just issue a stamp, have a party and dedicate a statue or two and move on. This state is broke.
Correction: We are going to pull out a statue that exists in the Washington DC Capitol (we aonly have two) and put in Barry Goldwater. Now I like Barry but do we just dump our heros from the past and put someone else in there. I wonder if the Goldwater Institute is behing this.
The guy we are pulling just went up San Juan Hill and was a major player in copper mining. His name is John Greenway. Bye John.

Carolyn:
The comment by Dick is true. You know I speak the truth. Have your readers check out “Mineral Museum Madness”.

Please do not support the Arizona Centennial 2012 Foundation. Their badly misguided project, the Arizona Centennial Museum (AKA Arizona Experience Museum) is displacing top rated and self supporting K -12 earth science education programs at the mineral museum. The centennial museum has no educational value and will cost taxpayers millions.
