    40 Legislators Named Guardians of Small Business Each Earned NFIB Honor with Perfect Voting Record on Small‐Business Issues

    Arizona News National Federation of Independent Business 3550 North Central Avenue, Suite 1806 Phoenix, Arizona 85012 (602) 263‐7690 Fax (602) 263‐7790 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Farrell Quinlan, [email protected] Tony Malandra, [email protected] 40 Legislators Named Guardians of Small Business Each earned NFIB honor with perfect voting record on small‐business issues PHOENIX, Ariz., June 2, 2014 — The National Federation of Independent Business announced today that 27 members of the Arizona House of Representatives and 13 members of the Arizona Senate earned its coveted Guardian of Small Business award for their perfect voting records on small‐business issues during the 51st Arizona Legislature. The small business group also highlighted four extraordinary lawmakers from the ranks of the Guardians who distinguished themselves as NFIB/Arizona’s Legislators of the Year. “When they look in the mirror every legislator thinks he or she sees a small‐ business champion even though for many it’s only a politically convenient delusion,” said Farrell Quinlan, Arizona state director for NFIB. “The 40 Guardians of Small Business never wavered in their solidarity with Arizona’s small‐business owners. These legislators delivered solid proof, instead of a fleeting pose, on the issues most critical to the survival and success of our small businesses.” Senators Gail Griffin (R‐Hereford LD14) and Steve Yarbrough (R‐Chandler LD17) are recipients of the 2014 NFIB/Arizona Senator of the Year awards. Representatives J.D. Mesnard (R‐Chandler LD17) and Justin Olson (R‐Mesa The signature Minuteman trophy NFIB has given for decades to the top Guardians of LD25) are recipients of the 2014 NFIB/Arizona Representatives of the Year Small Business award recipients in state awards.

    2014 End of Session Report ARIZONA PEST PROFESSIONALS ORGANIZATION Prepared by: Capitol Consulting, LLC 818 N. 1st Street Phoenix, AZ 85004 www.azcapitolconsulting.com P a g e | 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Dear AZPPO Members: Sine Die! On April 24, 2014, the 51st Arizona Legislature adjourned sine die at 1:46 AM after 101 days in session. By rule a session can last 100 days with provisions in place for extending it. As you recall, those provisions were put to the test last year with the uncomfortably long 151-day session. The 51st Legislature, 2nd Regular Session officially commenced January 13, 2014. A total of 1,205 bills were introduced by the legislature and of those, 276 have been signed by Governor Janice K. Brewer. The session began as usual with the governor announcing policy priorities for the year during the State of the State address. The governor’s priorities were perhaps met with a little more attentiveness from the legislature after a rocky end to the 2013 session. As you may recall part of the Governor’s ambitious 2013 agenda meant crossing political boundaries at the expense of the most conservative within the state’s GOP. In 2013, the governor muscled her way to pass the Medicaid expansion. After weeks of stalled budget negotiations, the Governor called a Special Legislative Session in an effort to bypass House and Senate leadership and call Medicaid to question. The move sparked rumors of a legislative coup and drove a wedge straight through the Republican caucus, dividing the moderate and conservative members. During her final State of the State address in January, Governor Brewer focused on two priorities including a complete overhaul of the state’s defunct child protective services and a proposal to create new incentives for manufactures to set up shop in Arizona.

    2015 Legislative Report and Scorecard

    2015 LEGISLATIVE REPORT AND SCORECARD Desert Nesting Bald Eagle photo by Robin Silver ARIZONA 2015 LEGISLATIVE REPORT By Karen Michael This year Humane Voters of Arizona (HVA) joined with other animal protection groups to form the Humane Legislative Coalition of Arizona (HCLA), an alliance of local animal advocacy organizations. Member groups include HVA, Animal Defense League of Arizona, Arizona Humane Society, and Humane Society of Southern Arizona. The coalition hired Brian Tassinari, the outstanding political consultant who helped to kill last session’s bad farm animal bill. This represents the Arizona animal community’s largest effort to date to protect our state’s animals and citizen initiative rights. Polls indicate that Arizona voters strongly support endangered Mexican wolf reintroduction and farm animal protection. This was demonstrated by the outpouring of support requesting a veto of the farm animal bill. Animal protection is a nonpartisan issue. A perfect example is that two of the most vocal supporters, Senators Farley and Kavanagh, are at polar ends of the political spectrum, yet they consistently agree when it comes to fighting for animals. The Good Bills The Cat Impound Exemption Bill (SB 1260) This beneficial measure exempts impounded cats from minimum holding periods at animal control facilities if the cat is eligible for a trap, neuter, return (TNR) program. Eligible cats are sterilized and ear-tipped and returned to their outdoor homes. Best Friends Animal Society drafted the original bill, SB 1198, which was sponsored by Senator Kavanagh. The bill failed on the House floor after an amendment was added to prohibit pound fees to be charged to anyone reclaiming an impounded cat.

  • Municipal 2012

    Municipal 2012

    2012 Municipal policy Statement Core Principles • PROTECTION OF SHARED REVENUES. Arizona’s municipalities rely on the existing state-collected shared revenue system to provide quality services to their residents. The League will resist any attacks on this critical source of funding for localities, which are responsibly managing lean budgets during difficult economic times. The League opposes unfunded legislative mandates, as well as the imposition of fees and assessments on municipalities as a means of shifting the costs of State operations onto cities and towns. In particular, the League opposes any further diversions of Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) monies away from municipalities and calls upon the Legislature to restore diverted HURF funding to critical road and street projects. • PRESERVATION OF LOCAL CONTROL. The League calls upon the Arizona Legislature to respect the authority of cities and towns to govern their communities free from legislative interference and the imposi- tion of regulatory burdens. The League shares the sentiments of Governor Brewer, who, in vetoing anti-city legislation last session, wrote: “I am becoming increasingly concerned that many bills introduced this session micromanage decisions best made at the local level. What happened to the conservative belief that the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people?” Fiscal Stewardship The League is prepared to support reasonable reforms to the state revenue system that adhere to the principles of simplicity, fairness and balance and that do not infringe upon the ability of cities and towns to implement tax systems that reflect local priorities and economies. • The League proposes to work with the Legislature to ensure that both the State and municipalities are equipped with the economic development tools they need to help them remain competitive nationally and internationally.
