Mayor Kenneth Weise, the new MAG chair, “will not back down from confrontation.” (City of Avondale/Submitted)

Avondale Mayor Kenneth Weise is set to become the chair for the Maricopa Association of Governments Regional Council.
Elected at the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) annual meeting on June 22, Weise will serve a one-year term.
While Weise said he does feel honored that he was elected, he wasn’t always interested in the chair position.
“Actually, I had no interest in being chair, and not because it’s not a great position, it’s just a lot of time,” Weise said. “There’s a lot of dedicated time that has to go with it. I work two jobs and I’m back in school, so I didn’t want to take the role without being able to give my effort to it.”
