  • Arizona's Emerging Latino Vote
    L A T I N O P U B L I C P O L I C Y C E N T E R MorrisonInstitute.asu.edu/Latinos Arizona’s Emerging Latino Vote By Bill Hart and E.C. Hedberg, Ph.D. Arizona’s Emerging Latino Vote Predicting the future can be risky business, but demographics tell us there is one irrefutable element in Arizona’s future – the disproportionate growth in young Latino citizens. Latinos constitute Arizona’s most rapidly growing ethnicity and could represent more than 50 percent of Arizona’s population by mid-century. The ramifications will be profound, with major impacts to be felt in the healthcare industries, at all levels of education, the workforce population and in state budgeting – just to cite a few. But perhaps the most important and far-reaching shift will be a change in statewide voting patterns and elections. Presently, Arizona politics and government are dominated by a Republican majority that is supported and elected, primarily, by Arizona’s aging white population. Research shows Latinos are unlikely to vote Republican and much more likely to support Democratic and Independent candidates. As a result, as their numbers grow much larger in proportion to other ethnic groups, Latinos’ impact on electing officials more to their political favor also will grow. That means that, over time, Arizona is likely to see more and more Democratic and Independent candidates elected to office, as well as perhaps more moderate Republicans. The demographics are undeniable: Unless there is an unforeseeable sea change in Latino voting patterns, Arizona is destined to become a much less Republican-dominated state, perhaps even changing from red to blue in the coming decades.

At the center of this project is the Tempe History Museum’s African American Advisory Group, formed in 2008. The late Edward Smith founded the Advisory Group that year and served as Chair until February 2010. Members of the Advisory Group worked with the staff of the Tempe History Museum to apply for a grant from the Arizona Humanities Council that would pay for the printing costs of the booklet. Advisory Group members Mary Bishop, Dr. Betty Greathouse, Maurice Ward, Earl Oats, Dr. Frederick Warren, and Museum Administrator Dr. Amy Douglass all served on the Review Committee and provided suggestions, feedback, and encouragement for the booklet. Volunteers, interns, staff, and other interested parties provided a large amount of research, editing, formatting, and other help. Dr. Robert Stahl, Chris Mathis, Shelly Dudley, John Tenney, Sally Cole, Michelle Reid, Sonji Muhammad, Sandra Apsey, Nathan Hallam, Joe Nucci, Bryant Monteihl, Cynthia Yanez, Jennifer Sweeney, Bettina Rosenberg, Robert Spindler, Christine Marin, Zack Tomory, Patricia A.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository Addressing the Meth Crisis in Arizona ARIZONA METHAMPHETAMINE CONFERENCE REPORT 2006 Message from the Governor The Arizona Methamphetamine Conference brought nearly 700 people together from every part of the state and from every discipline with a stake in the meth epidemic. These two days will change the course of Arizona’s fight to keep our children safe from meth. We know that law enforcement, treatment and prevention are the three critical components of a comprehensive strategy and that by working together we will make the difference for Arizona. Governor Janet Napolitano Message from the Attorney General In recent years, Arizona has experienced a serious and growing threat from the manufacture and use of methamphetamine. The Arizona Methamphetamine Conference was the largest statewide meeting ever to address the challenges posed by an illegal drug. The conference program tackled all aspects of the meth problem with one overriding objective - stop the meth epidemic plaguing Arizona. The multi-disciplinary conference brought together experts from many fields, policy makers and citizens who shared their experiences in this fight. Arizona's success in the fight against meth depends on the collective efforts of everyone - elected officials, social services, law enforcement, health professionals, tribal officials, grass roots organizations, neighborhood activists, clergy, parents and teachers. This meeting represented a major

HISTORY OF DISCRIMINATION Before the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), Arizo- nans of Hispanic, American Indian, African-American and Asian heritage were the victims of discrimination in virtually every area of their social and political lives. The town of Winslow adopted a policy segregating public swimming pools that allowed only Anglos to use the pool on days it was cleaned, and Mexican Americans, American Indians and African-Americans on other days.1 Similarly, Arizona adopted an anti-miscegenation law banning mar- riages between persons of “Caucasian blood” and those of “Negro, Mongo- lian, Malay, or Hindu” blood.2 American Indians were included in an ear- lier version of the anti-miscegenation statute, but were removed as a result of a 1942 amendment.3 African-Americans were not removed from the * Adjunct Professor, Barrett Honors College, Arizona State University. † Assistant Professor, Political Science Department, Arizona State University. ‡ Student Researchers, Barrett Honors College, Arizona State University. 1 Complaint, Baca v.

  • Online Consumers at Risk and the Role of State Attorneys General
    ONLINE CONSUMERS AT RISK AND THE RoLE OF STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL Reece Rushing, Ari Schwartz, and Alissa Cooper The Center for American Progress and The Center for Democracy and Technology August 2008 Contents 1 Executive Summary 4 The Rise of Online Fraud and Abuse 6 The Role of State Attorneys General 8 Major Findings 22 Case Examples: Attorneys General Combating Online Fraud and Abuse 25 Recommendations 28 Appendix: Internet Cases Brought by Attorneys General, 2006–2008 35 Endnotes 37 About the Authors and Acknowledgements Executive Summary nternet commerce has provided consumers with more convenience, more choices, and lower prices. These benefits, however, are being threatened by high levels of Ifraud and abuse unique to the online environment. If problems such as malware, phishing, and spam are left unchecked, many consumers may lose trust and abandon e-commerce. Action is urgently needed to ensure this does not happen. State attorneys general are an important part of the solution. The federal government, in particular the Federal Trade Commission, is beginning to step up, but resources are still limited. State attorneys general can augment the federal capability to protect consumers. Over the past three years, for example, state attorneys general have brought 11 cases against spyware distributors, the same number as the FTC. State consumer protection laws are sometimes stronger than federal laws. Leading attorneys general, in particular those in New York and Washington, have used such authority against spyware purveyors to levy penalties that are tougher than those the FTC can impose. In part because of this increased enforcement, consumer losses from spyware have declined 35 percent.

  • Phoenix, Arizona
    Phoenix, Arizona “A horizontal hymn to unsustainable development” is how sociologist Andrew Ross opens his 2011 book, Bird on Fire: Lessons from the World’s Least Sustainable City, a subtitle that has continued to spur public debate and has helped to prompt concerted action. The city has relied upon a model of sprawl and subdivision development, as well as water diversions from the Colorado River in an era of increasing scarcity, aridity, and rising temperatures. Nonetheless, in recent years, efforts have been ongoing to make the city more sustainable. Background • form of government: council/manager • population: approximately 1.68 million people as of 2019, and part of the fastest growing U.S. metropolis over the past half-century, now over four million people • geography and land area: land area of approximately 518 square miles; a desert city with very little rainfall; it ranks the highest of cities with days over 99 degrees Fahrenheit and its average nighttime temperatures have risen 11-degrees in the postwar period; water largely allocated by historical pacts on diversions from the Colorado River, in addition to the local Salt and Verde Rivers Postwar development model: • retirees: the city attracted people from various parts of the country, but notably many Midwestern white retirees in search of affordable and air-conditioned homes, often with private swimming pools and membership-only golf courses in segregated subdivisions. • cultural narratives: such as consuming “the desert oasis lifestyle,” have informed political, economic, and planning choices. • land speculation: the main industry has been land speculation and home construction, with concomitant boom and bust cycles especially exaggerated in Phoenix.
