  The Tucson City Council is set to provide a $2.6 million sales tax incentive to a new Home Depot set for construction on Old Nogales Road and South Houghton Road. The Pima Supes are set to put Vail's fate to voters and a whole mess of school boards are going to meet.

"Home Depot's 93-year-old cofounder who said 'nobody works' anymore because of 'socialism' has donated $64 million to elect Trump and the Republican party over the years"

"'Just give it to me. Send me money. I don't want to work — I'm too lazy, I'm too fat, I'm too stupid,'" he said, adding that he thinks if he founded Home Depot today it may not have been as successful.
