Good morning, Scottsdale.

Kasai Japanese Steakhouse raised over $34,000 for Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Centers by hosting its Fire & Fairways charity golf tournament at Biltmore Golf Club—local business and community leaders joined the event to support the nonprofit.

The funds will help the centers offer free job training, music lessons, dance classes, and art programs.

Attorney General Kris Mayes has taken legal action to bar New York Smoke Shop in Chandler and Pro Source outlets in Glendale and Scottsdale from selling tobacco to minors after undercover inspections showed failure rates of 83% and 67% respectively + the move comes as a new law will raise the legal sale age to 21 in late September.

Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky had a rocky first half of the year as she clashed with council members over proposals like the old Town parking garage plan and DEI funding cuts.

She faced strong criticism and allegations of campaign finance missteps (the 'Parkingate tapes' matter) and said she will keep working to address residents’ needs and calm the conflict.
