  • The Regular Meeting of the Mayor and City Council of Benson, Arizona Held January 13, 2014, at 7:00 P.M
    THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF BENSON, ARIZONA HELD JANUARY 13, 2014, AT 7:00 P.M. AT CITY HALL, 120 W. 6TH STREET, BENSON, ARIZONA CALL TO ORDER: Mayor King called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. with the Pledge of the Allegiance. ROLL CALL: Present were: Mayor Toney D. King, Sr., Vice Mayor Al Sacco, Councilmembers Pat Boyle, Ron Brooks, Jeff Cook, Chris Moncada and Peter Wangsness (via telephone). EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION: None PROCLAMATION: None PUBLIC HEARING: None CALL TO THE PUBLIC: Mayor King stated he would be limiting speakers to 5 minutes to address the Council. Edythe Figueroa stated she had been to Council meetings and topics are often focused on growth, but she notices a lot of vacant homes and stated the City appears to be experiencing an exodus of its habitants. Ms. Figueroa then stated the City spends a bazillion dollars on a golf course with new golf carts, millions on painting murals and repairing restrooms at the park, but they don’t capitalize on any work that has been done by the most accomplished people in our community, our children. Ms. Figueroa then stated the school system has been rated the top school system in the entire great State of Arizona, yet aside from the small one-time reference by the local media, there has been nothing else. Ms. Figueroa stated everyone watched a community be formed in Vail with a population increase that was more than the entire population of Benson. Ms. Figueroa stated marketing paid off and the next time the Council is talking about what the City needs, they need to remember they can keep doing what they are doing and watch our children grow up and leave or the City can grow.

  • Never Change 2.1
    Never Change 2.1: A Look at Jay-Z’s Lyrical Evolution kashema h. www.kashema.com Never Change 2.1: A look Jay-Z’s Lyrical Evolution By kashema h. “Intro” Jay-Z’s classic album Reasonable Doubt (1996) turned 20 years old this summer but it has been two years since he has released another album. He released “Spiritual” after the extrajudicial killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Jay is featured on the remix of “All the Way Up” and teamed up with DJ Khaled and Future to create “I Got the Keys.” Back in April, Mr. Carter made a cameo on his wife’s Beyoncé’s visual album, Lemonade as a family man. The last time we saw the lyricist in full rap mode (e.g. album, singles and tour) was for Magna Carta Holy Grail in 2013. The promotional On The Run trailer for the married couple’s tour stars Jay-Z and Beyoncé as bank robbers à la Bonnie and Clyde, and features all kinds of guns, ski masks, shady figures, cop chases and a line-up. In 2014, I started to think about Jay’s past criminal life as a drug dealer, and his references to it on his records. I let the thing between my eyes analyze Jay’s skills, then put it down—type Braille...you feel me? Last month, the rapper narrated the New York Times Op-Ed: “The War on Drugs Is an Epic Fail.” I went back to my study of Jay-Z and his lyrics with a more critical eye.

Not everyone has to tell it, of course, and most people have the good sense not to. But if you’re in my line of work, and the time arrives when you start imagining a big promotion, and you let your imagination get the better of you, you are by custom expected to give a general account of your life. The thought is that somewhere in the story of your early life, your people and place, your achievements and setbacks, Ehides the key to understanding how you acquired such a notion in the first place. I didn’t try to produce an exhaustive account of my life. That would try the patience of readers more than necessary. I thought it was better to take a more impressionistic approach to the material, so to speak, just a glance back at the experiences that most influenced the course of my life for good or ill. I haven’t included an account of my congressional career. I’ve produced only what you might call my backstory, which ends with my election to Congress. From that point on, 3 most of my life is a matter of public record, and falls under the heading of “recent events,” as most of the issues I’ve been involved with in Congress remain the subject of debate today.
