First, today's weather:

Mostly cloudy. High: 102 Low: 86.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Phoenix who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

Here are the top three stories in Phoenix today:

  1. A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has sided with Kevin Robinson during a lawsuit about his residence. Robinson is on the November ballot for the city's District 6 City Council position. He was accused by Moses Sanchez of not living in the district. Robinson's wife lives in Scottsdale, but Robinson maintains a permanent residence in District 6. (Arizona's Family)
  2. A large apartment fire displaced 15 Phoenix residents on Tuesday night. The Phoenix Fire Department responded to the complex near 27th Avenue and Campbell to discover flames coming from apartment windows. Five units were damaged during the incident. Thankfully, no one was injured. The blaze's cause is still under investigation. (FOX 10 News Phoenix)
  3. The comment period for the Black Canyon Corridor Travel Management Plan has been extended. The Bureau of Land Management will collect input through Aug. 15. The agency is using the information to evaluate different routes through the area. (KJZZ)
