Phoenix Mart will be the largest modern
commerce center in North America ...
And it will be in Pinal County
Phoenix Mart is designed to help the United States
benefit from the same business model that Dragon Mart and "YiWu"
represented as economic drivers in Dubai and China. It's purpose is to propel
small and mid-sized American businesses to positive trading positions on a
global scale. With the most advanced design and most ideal location in the fast
growing state of Arizona, Phoenix Mart will become the largest modern commerce
center in North America, combining wholesale, retail, e-commerce, distribution,
convention and entertainment capabilities.
Phoenix
Mart is located in Casa Grande between Metropolitan Phoenix and Tucson. It is
located two miles from the Casa Grande City Hall and also Interstate Highway
10, which spans the entire width of the United States, connecting California to
Florida. Interstate 8, Highway 84 and a railroad station add to the location's
convenient and high traffic qualities. On top of that, it is also near Casa
Grande's Central Business District and Walmart Corporation's distribution
center for the Southwest United States. http://www.santanvalley.com/news/newsstories/county/item/4686-phoenix-mart-will-be-the-largest-modern-commerce-center-in-north-america-and-it-will-be-in-pinal-county?tmpl=component&print=1

Arizona's Independent
Redistricting Commission has shifted gears, now collecting public input from
elected officials and everyday residents about what they want to see when the
state's political maps get wiped clean and recast.
While the commissioners have heard a variety of suggestions, one recommendation has so far come across more coherently than any other: The perceived need for a squarely conservative congressional district extending along the Colorado River from Mexico to Utah. READ MORE

Submits Bid for 2015 Super Bowl. Again, Bring on the Underage Hookers!
National Football League officials will receive
Arizona's official bid to host the 2015 Super Bowl today, which -- as
we noted in April -- means one thing: thousands and thousands of underage
hookers will invade the state to cash in on the testosterone of Super Bowl
weekend -- at least that's what self-righteous religious advocacy groups will
probably lead you to believe in the weeks before the big game.

Online chats focusing on plights of
Fla., Ariz. tots

For months, bloggers, social-network
contributors, lawyers and the media have drawn comparisons between two single
women who didn't want to be mothers in the first place and whose children
mysteriously disappeared.
One of them, Elizabeth Johnson of
Tempe, 25, mother of the missing Baby Gabriel, will be in Maricopa County
Superior Court today for a hearing to determine whether she is competent to
stand trial.http://www.azcentral.com/community/tempe/articles/2011/08/02/20110802baby-gabriel-case-likened-caylees.html
Change in ID-card law heightens
migrants' fears
Daniel Gonzalez - The Arizona
Republic - Aug. 2, 2011 12:00 AM
It is known as the "matricula
consular" in Spanish. For years, hundreds of thousands of Latino
immigrants in Arizona have relied on the photo ID cards issued by Mexico and
other foreign governments to open bank accounts, enroll children in school,
register cars, rent apartments and prove their identity during traffic stops by
police.
But the use of the card, most
popular with illegal immigrants ineligible to obtain state driver's licenses or
other forms of government-issued ID, was thrown into turmoil last month when a
new state immigration-enforcement law took effect. The law bans state and local
government entities from accepting consular ID cards issued by foreign
governments.
Four More Abuse Claims Against
Arpaio
Jamie Ross – Courthouse News –
August 1, 2011
PHOENIX (CN) - Sheriff Joe Arpaio
faces four more lawsuits from people - two of them attorneys - who say Arpaio's
officers abused them after illegally arresting them last year for protesting
Arizona's immigration law.
Sunita Patel, an attorney with the
Center for Constitutional Rights, claims she was "falsely arrested and
imprisoned for approximately 15 hours, during which time she was repeatedly
subjected to illegal and abusive custodial interrogations, and then maliciously
prosecuted for almost a year thereafter, all in retaliation for exercising her
constitutional rights to engage in the First Amendment protected activity of
observing and documenting Maricopa County Sheriff's Office officers' behavior
during a peaceful political protest."
