Manager says progress made on PhoenixMart is significant. Casa Grande’s economic development manager Richard Wilkie “said he is very confident that the long-delayed… center… will in fact be completed. He said… so much money has been spent on the project that investors are going to want to see it through. ‘That’s really, really good for all of us… Arizona City, Eloy, Coolidge.’” However, Wilkie doesn’t shy away from touching upon a “worst case scenario.” Find out what that scenario is and how the city would handle it should it go down, at Casa Grande Dispatch. http://bit.ly/2fOnVSy

Gaming compact amendment could settle Glendale casino dispute.Arizona Capitol Times: “Kirk Adams, Ducey’s chief of staff, said the proposal gives the Tohono O’odham everything they want regarding the Glendale facility [‘things like card games and slot machines’], and suggested that it could end the tribe’s ongoing litigation against the state.” So why haven’t the Tohono O’odham “jumped on board”? —> http://bit.ly/2gyr627

Congress hears appeals to fix dysfunctional appraisal system; Adam Martinez, Chairman of Rose Law Group real estate litigation department provides insight. Mortgage News Daily’s Jann Swanson serves up highlights from [a] hearing on “Modernizing Appraisals” where “[s]ix panelists presented more than a hundred pages of prepared testimony” on the system’s “structural flaws,” along with “recommendations” to fix it.  Adam Martinez: “The question… is whether appraisers should continue to be under the heavy federal regulatory scheme and state regulation, or whether the time has come to reduce federal oversight.” (NOTE: Just one look at this article’s “Appraisal Oversight” diagram — which “represent[s] the current regulatory structure” and looks like it could’ve come from the mind of Rube Goldberg — is more than enough to illustrate how dysfunctional the system actually is. Crazy. Click through to check it out, plus read more of what Adam has to say on the matter.) http://bit.ly/2fZLwh0
