Who Is Senate Candidate Bob Worsley?

Have you heard the name Bob Worsley or Robert Worsley or Robert M. Worsley, Robert Merrill Worsley before his announcement to run against Senator Russell Pearce in the newly created legislative district 25 in Mesa Arizona. I hadn't so I thought I would do a little research of my own on him. There is a lot of information on Mr. Worsley if you know where to look.

First off, I have no reason to question Mr. Worsley devotion to his family, friends and religion but I do have reason to question everything else.

Mr. Worsley is best known for founding SkyMall, its is a very interesting story with a very shaky beginning. The company almost didn't make it and one of his first partner Allen Ashton after investing 25 million refused to give him any more money. The company was founded in 1989 and incorporated in Delaware, 1996 the company was reincorporated in Nevada. We can only guess why. At the end of 1996 the company offered an IPO and raise about 14 million. In 1998 Worsley acquire a controlling interest in the company when he purchased Karen and Allen Ashton and Bert A. Getz shares. Worsely left Skymall in 2003.

After Leaving SkyMall, and probably before that (2002), he purchase New Mexico and Arizona Land Company, LLC. The company was renamed NZ Legacy, LLC and has since created a joint venture called HNZ Holdings, LLC after bring on Hunt Oil out of Texas. Theses companies that hold mineral patents and water rights in several Western States.

Mr. Worsley has also tried his hand at renewable energy, creating a 24 megawatt biomass plant in the Snowflake area through a company called Rengy Inc., control by Mr. Worsley. From the outset this biomass plant had problems and eventually file for Chapter 11 in 2010 in an attempt to prevent SRP from cancelling contracts with them. This entire time it appears that Mr. Worsley has continued to hold an interest in this company and in 2009 received tax credits for investing in the company. (Sound kind of familiar SOLYNDRA). This entire thing is kind of shady when you begin to look into it. Someone should really dig into the ownership of all these companies.

As for Mr Worsley politics they seem to be along the lines of I will cross the party lines when it fits me. He has donated to the establishment, probably because of political favors for his companies, he seems for have donated from all of them. He has even donated to Democrat Harry Reid in Nevada. That one really make you wonder.

Stay tuned for more, this work is in process.



Tyler Montague Is At It Again Telling Half Truths!

Tyler Montague, the Mr. Know It All of Mesa Arizona politics is at it again telling half truth and lies much the same as he didn't in late 2011 during the recall election.

If you recall, during the election of Senator Russell Pearce and (Senator) Jerry Lewis-Parraz you will remember that he first denied the use of the Mormon church in the recall elections before he admitted to the use of the Mormon church in the recall election.

Mr. Montagues repentance for the use of the church reminds me a lot of what John Kerry said once, "I was for it, before I was against it."  It also reminds me of President Bill Clinton sitting in the Oval office saying "I didn't have sex with that woman" and we all know how that turned out.!

I guess from Mr. Montague's standpoint a lie is OK if it serves your end.

In his most recent post on Facebook, he talks about the supposed abuse of power by Andrew Thomas and Joe Arpaio and using deputies to intimidate people. If you like you can read the story for yourself here. As one person pointed out, the Arizona Republic's story didn't mention any thing about the use of deputies to intimidate. In response Mr. Montague summarizes in rumor fashion (which is a campaign trick) that he has some insider information but can't go in to details on it. (David Johnson, Beth Coons, Randy Parraz, Chad Snow, Michael Wright, Mary Rose Wilcox, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny)

Mr. Montague insinuates (rumorizes) that he has personal knowledge of three individual, two of which are very public figures who when they made donations to the legal defense fund had deputies show up at their houses. Funny thing is the Legal Defense fund refused to disclose the donors. Lets guess who that defense fund was for, Don Stapley, who is now being investigated by the federal government for some of the very same things the County Attorney Andrew Thomas was investigating him for.

Mr. Montague for all your hard work at attempting to spin the spin I have to give you credit even if it is not completely accurate. It's like the spin on Jerry Lewis not knowing who Randy Parraz was during the recall election or the incidents at the school for the homeless kids and the stolen goods.

Bob Worsley Defends Phoenix New Times & Prostitution

Bob Worsley Support Phoenix New Times


Bob Worsley, a senate candidate for legislative district 25 in Mesa Arizona defends the Phoenix New Times and it's parent company The Village Voice against an advertising boycott promoted by the radio show Ban Amnesty Now.

Mr. Worsley or Bob, tries to compare this sex trafficking boycott to the boycott promoted by Democratic Congressman Raul Grijalva when he called for a boycott of Arizona over SB1070. You see Bob Worsley is no fan of SB1070 and before he sanitized his Mormon.org profile to make himself more appealing to a larger crowd of people, he was critical of the law and still is. Question, does run for political office mean you have to sanitize?

The Phoenix New Times, it's siblings and parent company account for about 70% of all prostitution advertising in the United States. 48 State Attorney Generals and 19 U.S. Senators on both side of party lines have called on them to stop running these sex ads.

These ads have been tied to sex trafficking and crimes against children. Bob what are you smoking these days, oops you don't smoke, it is against your religion. Investigations of these crimes, perpetuated by the Phoenix New Times have lead to the arrest of more than 50 people in 22 states.

Millions of dirty dollars flow into the Phoenix New Times and it's parent company each year because sex ads. Does Bob Worsley really have a problem with parents, grandparents and Arizona residents protecting their families? Does Bod have a problem bring attention to these sex crimes and the Phoenix New Times, which directly benefit?

Bob Worsley even went on to criticize Dan Harkins and Harkins Theaters for pulling their advertising. Saying that they where bullied into doing it. Bob are you so off the mark on family values that you  think a family oriented business would want to be associated with a business who's business model is human trafficking and prostitution? This also goes for Buddy Stubbs Harley Davidson. Bob maybe all these years of gold digging and buying up mining claims has done something to your thought process? Dan and Buddy I applaud you and your business for taking the stand you have.

I will be going to the movies this weekend and I will be telling Dan Harkins thank you. Will you?

P.S. Bob Worsley wants to run a clean and above the board campaign. I think Bob and Sean Noble made a big mistake here in supporting the Phoenix New Times and sex trafficking business model. I will be interested to see what other dirty trick will they pull out of their hat as we get closer to election time. We will just have to wait and see. One thing for sure will be the Mormon card.

Tyler Montague's View of Andrew Thomas, Is He Right?

Here is a quote from a Mesa resident who seems to think that he understands what is going on but refuses to see the possible truth about Andrew Thomas's position.

Wisdom quoted from today's ruling on the Thomas/Aubuchon disbarments: "Encircle yourself with people too afraid to speak, as Mr. Thomas did here, and you are bound only by your own thoughts and potentially–flawed analysis. Ignore those few who are not afraid to speak and advise candidly, as Mr. Thomas did here, and you remain bound by your own thoughts and potentially flawed analysis. Remove all layers of oversight and ethical restraint, as Mr. Thomas did here; “Cry 'Havoc', and let slip the dogs of war…” Julius Caesar Act 3, scene 1, 270–275, Shakespeare. It is a universal recipe for disaster."
 Here is some information that Mr. Montague may not of had:

To keep this all in context remember Tyler Montague and his father are the ones who lied about the use of the Mormon Church in the recall election between Russell Pearce and Jerry Lewis.

Senator Rich Crandall, Carpet Bagger from Mesa

Rich Crandall

  Carpet Bagger, refers to a politician who runs for public office in an area where he or she does not have deep community ties, or has lived for a short time.

As reported by azcentral, Rich Crandall with be running after all but not against Bob Worsley or Russell Pearce but in an entirely different district.He is picking up his family and moving from the gate community in which he lives at Brown and Greenfield roads to a place a little further east.

In his new district her will be representing east Mesa, Apache Junction and Gold Canyon. He will be running against John Fillmore. If Mr. Fillmore needs help with information on Rich all he will have to do is ask. I'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to help stop Rich dead in his tracks.

Rich is always at the bottom of the barrel for Republican Values and more times than not he vote for bigger government and less personal freedoms. As anybody that knows him and will say nice things to your face and then stab you in the back just to get ahead in the game.

Rich runs a food nutrition company that is owned on paper by his mother, but in reality is run by him. This is to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest on deal with matters concerning his votes on education. His vote consistently side with the public education system because of his ties and contracts with public schools.

Be very careful of this carpet bagger and snake oil salesman.

Mesa Public School Wants $250 Million From You!


Mesa Public Schools $250 Million Bonds


As reported in the East Valley Tribune, Mesa Public Schools or MPS is looking to hit Mesa's residents with a $250 million bond package for maintenance and repairs. That is Maintenance and repair for it's 87 campuses. If approved by voters, the bonds will be paid back with a tax levied on
on real estate, in other words your home.

Over the years Mesa residents have approved bond package after bond package after bond package. As a result Mesa Public Schools have become dependent on your taxes to sustain themselves. When they are short on money they go to the public trough to cover the shortfall, knowing darn well that you the public will always fund education with out question. Why because they kow we want what ia best for your kids. They play on our emotions.This is not an emotional issue.

While there my be a need for bonds and I do believe they have a purpose, I do not believe that they should be used for maintenance and repairs. If you are going to use credit (bonds) it should be used for something that outlives the payback period and returns something to you.

So before you vote to approve the bonds ask yourself and ask Mesa Public schools these simple questions. 1) What is the money going to be used for? 2) Whats the expected life of the item? 3) What is the payback period and will the item out live the payback period? If the answer to the last question is "NO" then the
vote on the bonds should be "NO"

Think before you vote. Ask yourself would I do the same with my on money?
