 Christina Estes-Werther, League General Counsel
On April 6, 2017, the U.S. Senate, by a vote of 54-45, confirmed Neil Gorsuch as an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court filling the vacancy that resulted from the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in
early 2016. Prior to his appointment, Neil Gorsuch was serving as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, appointed by President George W. Bush in 2006. President Trump nominated Neil
Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court in January and following confirmation hearings and a Senate vote, he was sworn in on April 10, 2017. As a U.S. Supreme Court justice, he is appointed for life and at the
age of 49, he is one of the youngest jurists to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Read more |

City & Town Throwback

The City of Mesa was featured as the first southwest city to air on C-SPAN's Cities Tour. The program featured interviews of local leaders, nonfiction authors

aired on C-SPAN "History TV" can be found in the C-SPAN video library.
6 Years Ago
The City of Bisbee was recognized on Earth Day by the USDA for its environmental stewardship, and more specifically, its Tin Town sewer project for which the
