THE WEEK AHEAD...
It's the summer slowdown, but there are a couple of things of note that should be transpiring this week. The Arizona Legislature loses a veteran and Tucson may make another change downtown.
Republican Jake Flake of Snowflake died of an apparent heart attack over the weekend . He was 72. Flake was running for re-election next fall, but had no opposition. It's now up to the Navajo County Board of Supervisors to name a replacement.
Closer to home, The Tucson City Council Tuesday will listen to City Manager Mike Hein's reasons for opposing a renovation of Hotel Arizona downtown, in favor of spending all the the money on a new 700-room Sheraton Hotel near the TCC. The estimated cost of that is $17 million. If anything is constant with the Rio Nuevo project, it's change.
