Major Tempe Town Lake biotech campus in the works. “The proposal calls for a five-building campus… on about 18 acres of city-owned land immediately west of the Tempe Center for the Arts….

Foundation fighting back over ADA lawsuits, wants to force oversight. “AID seeks… to force the Attorney General’s Office to conduct compliance reviews [‘inspecting businesses periodically for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act’], saying that office has been legally required to do the inspections… but has failed to do so. ….The [AG] has accused AID of being a serial litigator that has been using the ADA law to collect thousands of dollars… from unsuspecting businesses…” — East Valley Tribune. http://bit.ly/2eozsd3

MORE SIGNS OF THE TIMES – Judge says Phoenix suburb sign code enforcement overrides freedom of speech. KTAR: “The city of Chandler has been ordered by a judge to stop enforcing parts of the city’s sign code that violated freedom of speech on state and federal levels.

The report is the first effort by the federal government to quantify the extent of what critics call a flagrant abuse of [EB-5].” More on this report along with the “fight under way in Congress over the future of [the program]” — in The Wall Street Journal. http://bit.ly/2eyiqqM

‘SNL’ recap: Trump doesn’t accept election results there, either. Saturday Night Live: perhaps the only reason for not wanting this crazy election year to end.
