 April 9, 2018 - David Lucier, Chairman of the Tempe Arts and Culture Commission, gave us an overview of the commission. The Tempe Arts and Culture Commission advises the City Council,  in the development of an arts and culture plan, and promotes such plans; supports the City’s General Plan goals relating to arts and culture and encourages diverse citizen participation in arts and culture programs and initiatives; and, advises City staff on arts and culture programs, projects, policies, and initiatives. The city supports the arts and culture initiative through a 1/10% sales tax which expires in 2020. David hopes that will be extended.  Tempe's art and culture programs are creative, vibrant, diverse, and receive countless accolades from the community.

 March 26, 2018 - Bill Mundell presented information on the formation and history of the Corporation Commission in Arizona.  The Corporation Commission was created as a 4th branch of Government in Arizona to regulate monopolies.  When instituted in 1912, the largest monopolies were railroads. Regulating a monopoly means that the Commission has the power to set the rates you pay as a customer of the monopoly.  Today, utilities are the monopolies regulated by the Commission.
