Hello, Your publication is so good I feel guilty when I don't read it daily. Congrats on a concise, meaty, informative and fun read. Job well done.

The rabid hatred some GOP members of the legislature have towards light rail is fascinating -- Phoenix's light rail ridership is pretty much middle of the pack in the US no matter how you slice it: out of 40 systems listed in Wikipedia, based on 2019 data it's 14th in terms of gross ridership, 16th in ridership per track mile.

Lol I was wondering why they were so vehemently opposed to it and this explanation makes too much sense for it to be anything else

I've been a donor to the game and fish department for years, helping fund thier water program. They cancelled all recurring donations a few months back and haven't yet set up a new donation portal.

Seems like an unforced error that could've saved them a lot of money if they had just kept their old donation portal. Wonder how much money they've lost from that.

I see it did not hit 115 yesterday. I swear, I could tell it was not as hot as usual. My july electric bill will be a horror story.

Regarding the conspiracy tweet on Phoenix temperatures I was in Paradise Valley two weeks ago for the weekend and entered that location on my phone and it was 115 with a low of 91 a few degrees difference from Phoenix no conspiracy here!

I'm glad to see Rachel Alexander in the What We're Laughing At, but I certainly hope you don't cite her for any other purpose than poking fun at her...
