“Mesa is getting creative in its attempts to reach out to the Spanish-speaking community, as it tries to overcome budget cuts and the limitations set by a new law that designates English as the state’s official language.

Mesa contracts with a Spanish-language media company to distribute information, and is in early talks with Spanish television company Univision to produce a Spanish-language show on city Channel 33 to highlight various programs.”*
