  • End of Session Report
    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.

  • Newsletter 8-14-12
    Ward 6 Staff Ward 6 - Newsletter Tucson First August 14, 2012 TPD/TFD Staffing Steve Kozachik Starting in 2015, due to the DROP (Deferred Retire- Council Member ment Option Plan) retirement program, we are going to begin to lose big numbers of our command struc- ture in both of our public safety agencies. In addition, because of the expiration of grant funding related to TPD new hires, the general fund will soon begin to absorb costs that are now being picked up by the Federal money. Ann Charles In short – we are looking at the edge of a cliff when it comes to staffing levels and budget allocations for both police and fire. In rough numbers, right now TPD is down about 40 officers. They’re due to lose another 60 through the DROP. TFD has already made service adjustments to accom- modate for their current staffing levels, but they will lose another 105 firefighters by the end of calendar year 2015. The service changes include converting ladder trucks into Alpha trucks; that is, reducing what was formerly a 4 person crew to two 2 per- Teresa Smith son crews on smaller vehicles, and geared to respond to lower level calls. Neither of those staffing projections takes into account the fact that we will continue to lose officers and firefighters to other locales through normal attrition. With approval from the City Manager’s Office, TFD will be starting a class of 33 firefighter recruits on September 17th with graduation set for February 1st. Typical- ly they lose about 20% of a recruiting class during the academy, and for those who make it through, they’re on probation for 18 months.

  • 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.
