  • 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 Policy Statement Web Final V2.Ai
    2013 MUNICIPAL POLICY STATEMENT CORE PRINCIPLES The League of Arizona Cities and Towns, a voluntary association of the 91 incorporated municipalities in Arizona, is governed by two core principles: to protect shared revenues and promote local decision-making authority. LOCAL CONTROL Decentralized government at the local level represents a fundamental principle of American democracy, recognizing that when it comes to community governance, one size does not fit all. The League calls upon the Legislature to respect the authority of cities and towns to govern their communities in the best interests of their residents. During the 51st Legislature, the League will endorse legislation that supports and sustains the principle of local control and reject legislation that conflicts with the autonomy of cities and towns. Specifically, the League supports legislation that will restore municipal authority to: • Regulate the sale and use of consumer fireworks; and • Determine the method, manner and timing of local elections. BUDGETARY RESOURCES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY The League is determined to safeguard the economic resources cities and towns require to ensure safety and provide high- quality services for their residents. To that end, the League calls upon the Legislature to: • Enact a budget that maintains existing historical formulas for the distribution of state-collected shared revenue to local governments; • Discontinue diversions of Highway User Revenue Fund monies to fund the operations of state agencies (see figure 1); and • Remove the financial burden from municipalities regarding the construction of infrastructure for large manufacturing facilities. Cities and towns are actively exploring new ways to promote business growth and expand the tools available to municipalities for this purpose.

  • State Legislators to Be Honored by the League of Arizona Cities and Towns During Annual Conference
    Media Contact: Ken Strobeck, Executive Director League of Arizona Cities and Towns 602‐258‐5786 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 19, 2015 STATE LEGISLATORS TO BE HONORED BY THE LEAGUE OF ARIZONA CITIES AND TOWNS DURING ANNUAL CONFERENCE TUCSON — The League of Arizona Cities and Towns will honor 47 members of the Arizona Legislature for their work during the 2015 legislative session at the organization’s annual conference on Thursday, August 20 in Tucson. The legislators are being recognized for their commitment to local government decision making and providing support to cities and towns in their districts and statewide. “We are pleased to honor these legislators for their service to Arizona,” said Tempe Mayor and League President Mark Mitchell. “They are devoted supporters of cities and towns, understanding that municipalities are most effective when they are able to make the decisions that will directly impact those people who live, work and play within their communities.” The League’s legislative agenda includes two basic core principles: commitment to local decision‐making by the elected leaders of cities and towns, and a commitment to the revenue sharing system established by the voters through a series of initiative measures. The League’s highest honor goes to “Legislative Champions.” This year, they are: Representative Mark Cardenas (D‐19) Representative Doug Coleman (R‐16) Senator Lupe Contreras (D‐19) Representative Karen Fann (R‐1) Representative Jay Lawrence (R‐23) Representative Eric Meyer (D‐28)

  • Arguments Filed in Support of Proposition 124
    ARGUMENTS FILED IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSITION 124 We fully support proposition 124 and believe this negotiated reform is the best way to sustain the public pension system for our fire fighters and police while protecting taxpayers. Serving in our respective capacities of Senate President and Senate Finance Chairman, we worked together with the governor’s office, the fire fighter and law enforcement associations, Republican and Democratic legislators, the cities, the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System and the counties for over a year and believe this reform is the best way to improve the funded status of the retirement system in a way that is agreeable to all sides. The reform serves a significant and legitimate public purpose that is both reasonable and appropriate. Multiple sources have identified the current pension benefit increase structure as a major contributor to the underfunded status of the retirement fund. For over 20 years the current structure has paid out a nearly 4% increase compounded every year. This proposition, if approved, will replace the current flawed system with a cost of living adjustment that follows inflation with a cap of 2%. Many people have worked hard and long on this negotiated reform. We sincerely ask you to VOTE YES to protect the fund and the taxpayers. Andy Biggs and Debbie Lesko Sponsored by “Debbie Lesko and Andy Biggs” My name is Bryan Jeffries. As the president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona, I represent more than 8,000 retired and active fire fighters across our state. Respectfully, we ask you to vote yes on Proposition 124, which reforms and repairs Arizona’s public safety retirement system.
