Where Do the Candidates Stand? Where Do the Candidates Stand? Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) voucher expansion would divert even more taxpayer dollars from public schools to subsidize private school tuition and other personal expenses with almost no transparency or accountability. ​Save our Schools Arizona is Voting NO (opposing) Proposition 305​. Find out more at SOSArizona.org​. We urge you to ​email, call, and find your candidates on social media​; ask them to explain their stance or lack of a response. In particular, find out if they’ll protect public schools and oppose ESA voucher expansion in the future.

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.

    CSA Weekly Update November 9, 2018 A research and advocacy association, supporting efficient, responsive county government in Arizona. In the November 9, 2018 CSA Weekly Update: Thank You for Your Service Veterans! PSPRS Briefs County Managers General Election Preliminary Results APA Arizona State Planning Conference Thank You for Your Service Veterans! This weekend we observe the Veterans Day holiday. Veterans Day has its origins in Armistice Day, which was first acknowledged by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The first anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, ending WWI, took place “in the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.” For that reason, Congress made Armistice Day a national holiday on November 11, 1938. However, in 1968, the signing of the Uniform Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Many states did not agree with this and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates, causing confusion. Therefore, on September 20, 1975 President Gerald Ford signed legislation returning Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. In honor of all the men and woman who served and continue to serve our great country, thank you!

  • Bulletin 5: February 12, 2021
    Issue 5 – February 12, 2021 Legislative Update Today is the 33rd day of session and 1,707 bills and 113 memorials or resolutions have been introduced. The period to introduce legislation is now over for both chambers. Except for budget bills, no new legislation can be introduced. Next week is the last week to hear bills in the chamber of origin, which means that committees for the week will have lengthy agendas as legislators try to get their bills heard before the deadline. The legislature continues to move swiftly. So far, the Governor has signed 18 bills, while 12 await his signature or veto. Utility Condemnation This week the Senate Commerce discussed a strike-everything amendment to SB1154 related to eminent domain, sponsored by Sen. J.D. Mesnard (R-Chandler), but did not take a vote on the bill. It has been rescheduled for a hearing in next Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the same committee. The striker amendment would require a city or town exercising eminent domain to file one or more appraisals with the superior court that support the proposed compensation for the condemnation. The League testified in opposition in committee because the current statutes already require cities and towns to obtain and deliver an appraisal to the utility being condemned, but the appraisal itself is not admitted in the superior court case due to procedural rules. The amendment isn’t clear about how the court is supposed to handle the appraisal once its filed, which will likely lead to increased attorneys’ fees to litigate over the role of the appraisal in the court case.
