The Mayor’s Farewell Gala was a huge success on Nov. 16. My personal experience started with brief introductions to many of the guests as I, along with a few other co-workers, registered each of 400 attendees. There were many different faces of professions under one roof ranging from healthcare to international developers and local politicians, many of whom I’ve worked with – it’s always great to place a face with a voice at the other end of the phone. The event was held at Stand Up Live in the very new multi million dollar project in the heart of downtown Phoenix….I need to disclose that the event was not paid for with city tax dollars. Lol!
Given the nonsense printed in the media about my boss, he is brilliant with many talents and a heart the size of Texas. He is the first Mayor to have set goals publicly and conquer them all which consisted of a bio science center, downtown campus for ASU, lightrail, bring in a $750 million construction development and a 3rd Hotel. Not only did the Mayor meet his goals he surpassed them by bringing in U of A in addition to ASU, a $950 million dollar construction site, known today as CityScape; he expanded the Convention Center, extended lightrail, brought in the Sky Train at CityScape and millions of dollars to Phoenix bringing jobs and enhancing the quality of life to many. It’s simply amazing to witness history in the making.
