See RICHINS Page 9 One More New Senator on the Horizon. Who Will It Be? By Ana Kennedy Otto, Arizona Farm Bureau Government Relations Manager ith the 2018 election on the horizon, Arizona already tapped one new U.S. Senator. The passing of Senator John McCain late last month resulted in the recent appointment of Jon Kyl, former WU.S. Senator but new to the current Congressional session. The Arizona Farm Bureau looks forward to working with Senator Jon Kyl, who has long been an advocate for many of our agricultural and natural resource issues. The late Senator McCain was also a champion on many of our key federal concerns related to immigration reform, natural resources issues, and trade to name a few, and his support on these fronts will be missed. But the seating of another “new” U.S. senator from Arizona is not over thanks to the 2018 election and Senator Jeff Flake’s decision not to run for re-election. Representa- tives Martha McSally and Kyrsten Sinema are vying for the open Senate seat. Rep. McSally has represented District 2 located in the southeastern D.C.

Scripture tells us that praying for our Gleaders is one of the best ways we can do this. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2 NKJV). It is better to pray for governmental leaders — local, state, and national — than to criticize them. This doesn’t mean we always agree with their every action or condone legislative decisions contrary to biblical principles.

    FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S DESK 19 JANUARY 2018 Goals: Build support for Virgin Trains and Fortress Investment Group to establish service in the Sun Corridor. Build credibility among regional politicians, managers and organizations as the critical organization with expertise in rail. Recruit new members and raise funds. KJZZ Interview I taped an interview for the Morning Show at the Phoenix NPR affiliate. It was a resounding success. Mayors of Yuma, Benson and Maricopa At the request of George Chilson, I sent letters to the mayors of the three towns asking them to write a letter to Richard Anderson of Amtrak in support of a daily Sunset Limited. Transportation Choices Coalition A meeting was held with Scott Smith at the Valley Metro headquarters where he gave a presentation as to the current status of Valley Metro Rail. Valley Metro Rail has exceeded expectations. The proposed initiative is nothing less than a rollback and will stop light rail expansion in its tracks. The actual language of the initiative is far different from what people were told when they signed the petitions. This is the core of Dave Martin’s lawsuit asking the court to throw the initiative out. Should that fail, it will come to a vote in Phoenix in August. The Trump Administration’s transportation policy appears to be biased against public transit and against rail in particular. Congress disagrees, and there is a bipartisan consensus in favor of both public transportation and rail. The key to increasing ridership on a bus is to increase frequency. The argument that a given bus is half empty doesn’t wash.
