Governor Katie Hobbs Will Begin Her Administration With A Water (And Power) Crisis
Above: Glen Canyon Dam, Lake Powell. For eight years, climate denier Gov. Doug Ducey and his climate denier GQP-controlled Arizona legislature did little to nothing to address the impending water crisis long predicted to result from an historic megadrought in the western U.S. Their response was always "mañana." Last July Gov. Ducey signed landmark $1.2 billion ‘water protection’ bill: The legislation will put $1 billion in the new Water Infrastructure Finance Authority, allowing the state to buy and own
Once Again, AZ School Districts Call For A Special Session To Fix The Fiscal Cliff Crisis Of The Education Aggregate Spending Limit
Update to AZ School Districts Call For A Special Session To Fix The Fiscal Cliff Crisis Of The Education Aggregate Spending Limit (Sept. 2022). Still waiting! Gov. Doug Ducey is the self-proclaimed "education governor" (see above PR stunt). What a crock of shit. No Governor has been more successful in destroying public education in Arizona in pursuit of the GQP agenda to privatize public education into a for-profit private held business from which legislators can financially profit, even while
Strong November Jobs And Earnings Report Gives Corporate Media Rooting For A Recession A Sad
Wall Street and corporate media are rooting for the Federal Reserve to cause a big spike in unemployment and even trigger a recession as the only means to tamping down inflation. Corporate media rarely reports on how more than half the rate of inflation is due to corporate price gouging to increase profits, make stock buy backs, and pay dividends to the investor class aka the predator class. Just look at today's reporting decrying the fact that the economy
The Insane Absurdity of AZ Election Denialists
There is a truly absurd fact at the center of the election denialism of Lake, Hamadeh, Finchem, and others: if Cochise County had failed to certify their election results, the consequence would be the election of more Democrats. Deniers are accusing Governor-Elect Hobbs of threats and intimidation against the Cochise Board for saying that she would seek the enforcement of the law (ARS 16-642, et seq.), despite the fact that Hobbs is fighting to ensure that mostly Republican votes

Court Grants Maricopa County’s Motion For Sanctions Against Attorneys For Kari Lake And Mark Finchem
Earlier this year, U.S. District Judge John J. Tuchi Threw Out ‘Conjectural’ Arizona Lawsuit That Demanded Ban on Electronic Voting Machines: Kari Lake (R) sued Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) in April, alleging that the electronic voting machines used in state elections were at risk of hacking, election tampering, and voter fraud.

The Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA) is Bad for Consumers
With inflation hitting all-time highs and consumers struggling to afford the basics like rent and groceries, it is encouraging to see that some members of Congress are putting us at the top of their agendas. Congress recently passed the Inflation Reduction Act, just one of the policies coming out of Washington that gives our communities a much-needed boost especially our most marginalized. Unfortunately, not everyone has consumers' best interests at heart. Over a decade ago, Congress passed an amendment
Judge Issues Writ Of Mandamus To Cochise County Supervisors – They Have Until 5:00 p.m. To Certify The Canvass Of The Vote (Update: Vote Certified!)
A very brief summation of the Court hearing: No notice of appearance by counsel was filed, so the individual county supervisors appeared representing themselves individually. Judge McGinley finds it is appropriate to proceed without assistance of counsel given the nature of the case. Supervisor Crosby moved for a delay of proceedings for 4-5 days to allow counsel they tried to hire, but who did not file an appearance, to get up to speed. This motion was denied because it would
