AZ is a Swing State—Vote!

By Tae Esperanza Cooper The next President of the United States may be determined by a handful of votes in swing states—also known as battleground states, toss-up states or purple states—because they can be reasonably won by either Democratic nominee Kamala Harris or Republican nominee Donald Trump. This differs from red and blue states, where a specific side is supported more than the other. Arizona is a key swing state, along with Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Arizona voters will determine the state's direction in this 2024 Presidential Election. "Voting is a powerful way for students to shape their future and make their voices heard on issues that matter to them,” said Pima County Recorder Gabriella Cázares-Kelly, who coordinates voter registration in Tucs...

Sweet Tomatoes Exclusively Returns to Tucson

By Steve Forrester Between 2023 and 2024, over twenty different Tucson-area restaurants closed their doors. We’re happy to see that one restaurant has returned with their doors wide open, and not just returned to Tucson, but exclusively returned to our fair city. This restaurant is Sweet Tomatoes, which had its grand re-opening at Broadway and Wilmot on April 1st, 2024. At 11:00 a.m. on that drizzly Monday morning, a long line of guests showed up (the first in line arrived at least an hour early), and all applauded when the doors opened and the line began to slowly step inside the renovated restaurant. Everyone in line gave a sigh of relief because finally, a lost institution had been resurrected, just after Easter Sunday. The hostess and management gave everyone a warm, welcoming sm...

BRIEF: Son convicted in shocking NYC murder-for-hire conspiracy over family real estate business

A federal jury in Brooklyn on Wednesday convicted Anthony Zottola, Sr. and Himen Ross of murder-for-hire conspiracy and murder-for-hire in the Oct. 4, 2018 killing of Sylvestor Zottola, 71, according to a DOJ press release. Bushawn Shelton, an additional co-conspirator, pleaded guilty to the same charges in August. The elder Zottola was killed as he waited for a cup of coffee at a McDonald's drive-thru in the Bronx. “Over the course of more than a year, the elderly victim, Sylvester Zottola, was stalked, beaten, and stabbed, never knowing who orchestrated the attacks. It was his own son, who was so determined to control the family’s lucrative real estate business that he hired a gang of hit men to murder his father,” said US Attorney Breon Peace. The release goes on to include th...
