Mesa centers will offer retail, office, living
Together, the proposed Red Mountain Commons, Val Vista Retail Center and another unnamed center will bring to market nearly 800,000 square feet of space, roughly the size of a regional mall. At 427,000 square feet, Val Vista Retail Center, planned at the southeast corner of Val Vista Drive and Thomas Road is by far the largest of the three developments. Plans call for an undetermined anchor store, such as a JC Penny or Target. "We're out there right now combing the earth for potential anchors at this point," said Charles Carlise, president of Phoenix-based De Rito Partners Development, which is buying the property. De Rito is also planning several smaller "junior" anchors, ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 square feet, and smaller, infill retail stores.

Same-sex marriage amendment advances
I think the debate really goes back to separation of church and state. When our colonies wanted to be free of King George - well, even before that - when the pilgrims came here, it was to flee a country where the precise religion was dictated to them: Believe and practice "this" (the "Church of England") or be eradicated. So they left. Many went to Holland first, but then came here. Puritans primarily settled Massachusetts, Congregrationalists primarily settled Connecticut and New Hamphire, and so forth. Many of the colonies began with particular religious groups settling there and building it up. They learned to get along with one another despite their religious differences, and as the United States gradually came to exist as we know it, "separation of church and state" meant no one religion was to be dictated to the people of the nation, nor to be given supremacy over another, as King George and others had done.
