Send us Fan MailOn this episode we sat down to chat with Scott Somers (not Cyclops from X-Men; sorry Marvel fans) about a plethora of interesting topics from the Buffalo Bills to the history of east Mesa to the economic development taking place around Eastmark and the Gateway area here in District 6 (D6).  Scott is long-time firefighter with Phoenix Fire and a former Mesa city council member (2006-2014) for D6 who helped lay the framework for Eastmark and the Elliot Road Tech Corridor. He's now an Eastmark resident who is running again to represent D6 on the Mesa city council. Take a listen and get to know your neighbor, Scott!
