Good morning, Chandler.

Chandler will host a national No Kings protest on Saturday, Oct.

18 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. along Arizona Avenue as local organizers call for fair government policies — urging equal rights and opposing voter suppression. The event is part of a nationwide day of nonviolent action.

Even though overall DVD and Blu-ray sales have declined, collectors and cinephiles are boosting the market for collectible formats such as SteelBooks and used copies.

Local Zia Records in Chandler reports increased sales as consumers seek a complete movie experience—experts say limited streaming options are driving this renewed interest in physical media.

Voters in the Kyrene School District are beginning to cast ballots this week to decide on a plan that would renew the budget override needed for teacher pay, small class sizes, and student services—an override that comes amid proposals to close several under-enrolled schools.

The measure is on the ballot along with a county question on an $898 million bond for Valleywise Health, and officials warn that failure to renew could worsen funding gaps for the district.

Heavy rains since early September have led to over 1,000 mosquito-related complaints in the valley, and floodwater mosquitoes are now causing a significant nuisance without usually carrying dangerous diseases.

Officials advise residents to remove standing water from around their homes—steps that can help reduce the breeding sites.

Nearly 2,000 Arizonans filed complaints about debt collection calls last year as calls surged 150% nationally; a local nonprofit is helping residents lower interest rates and verify debts — steps that aim to ease credit card burdens.
