Good morning, Mesa.

At Falcon Field today, a Harrier AV-8B touched down amid cheers and photos as the museum added the fighter jet to its display.

Retired Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Marty Post said the jet, which saw combat, took a year to secure +it boosts local tourism+ for military history exhibits.

Mesa City Council will vote on July 1 on changes to the marijuana codes that would let dispensaries use more floor space and lift the delivery ban—an update aimed at modernizing local regulations.
