Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. TSMC targets veterans for high-tech careers at expanding Phoenix chip plant (abc15.com) — TSMC is rapidly expanding its North Phoenix chip plant and is actively recruiting U.S. military veterans and other applicants for about 2,500 new high-tech jobs. A major in-person hiring event is set for Oct. 3 at the North Phoenix site, with pre-screening required. Technician roles don't require a college degree, and support is available to help veterans translate their skills.
2. Phoenix adds water storage, Scottsdale weighs new rules as Colorado River supplies shrink (abc15.com) — Phoenix is investing about $88 million in upgrades at its Union Hills Water Treatment Plant, adding a new 20‑million‑gallon reservoir to boost storage and reliability for city customers. At the same time, Scottsdale is weighing stricter reviews for very large water users as Colorado River supplies shrink. These moves aim to keep taps running for Phoenix‑area residents in coming years.
3. Phoenix mom spared death row after murdering adopted daughter, 9, leaving body to rot in family's attic (fox10phoenix.com) — Phoenix residents are learning that Maribel Loera will serve 32 years in prison after a plea deal for the horrific abuse and death of her adopted 9-year-old daughter, whose remains were found in a Phoenix home's attic. The case, uncovered after a 2020 911 call near 59th Avenue, continues with her husband awaiting trial and a sentencing hearing set in October.
4. Raw lamb on fish, missing sushi advisory among Phoenix-area restaurant violations (azfamily.com) — If you eat out around Phoenix, recent county inspections flagged several spots, including City of Spice and Matilda's in Phoenix, for multiple major health code violations. The weekly Dirty Dining report also highlights issues at restaurants in Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert so you can better judge where to grab your next meal.
5. A look at the $5.5M Peoria mansion bought with alleged Medicaid fraud (fox10phoenix.com) — A behavioral health provider based in Phoenix, "Thinking and Learning Together 2," is at the center of a federal case alleging $33 million in fraudulent AHCCCS billing tied to a Peoria mansion and luxury car. Prosecutors say nearly $20 million was paid out, with authorities recovering about $14 million and warning that Arizona's Medicaid fraud crackdown is intensifying.
