The Casa Grande City Council will have a busy start to the workweek. There are at least 15 different zoning requests on the council’s agenda for tonight, requests from the fire and police departments for new equipment and a decision to make on who to appoint to two open seats on the city’s Historic Preservation Commission.
It was also a busy week for the justice system last week. The U.S. Department of Justice announced that a Sacaton man had been sentenced to 17 years in prison for inappropriate conduct with a minor. And a Scottsdale man allegedly led Pinal County deputies on a high-speed chase down Interstate 10 and through three cities before he was stopped. See what deputies allegedly found in his vehicle.
After winning their first three games of the season, there was optimism that the Casa Grande Union Cougars’ move to 5A would not hinder their performance on the field.
With surging levels of inflation and cost-of-living, many low-income residents in the Casa Grande area are finding it harder to meet everyday expenses, according to a spokeswoman for the faith-based Laundry Love washing service.
