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!

PERRY DEPUTY AUDITOR GENERAL March 1, 2019 Members of the Arizona Legislature The Honorable Doug Ducey, Arizona Governor Governing Board Pima County Joint Technical Education District The Honorable Mark Brnovich, Arizona Attorney General The Honorable Kathy Hoffman, Arizona State Superintendent of Public Instruction The Office of the Auditor General has conducted a financial investigation of Pima County Joint Technical Education District (District) cash collections for the period March 2016 through August 2016. We performed the investigation to determine the amount of public monies misused, if any, during that period. The investigation consisted primarily of inquiries, observations, examination of selected financial records and other documentation, and selected tests of internal control over the District’s cash collections. The investigation was not conducted in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and was more limited than would be necessary to ensure we discovered all misused public monies or to give an opinion on internal controls. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of internal controls or ensure that all deficiencies are disclosed. The Financial Investigation Report describes our findings and recommendations as a result of this investigation.

    Senate COVID-19 Protocols; House to Follow Suit

    Senate COVID-19 Protocols; House To Follow Suit Senate President Karen Fann (LD1) announced COVID-19 mitigation strategies for the upcoming Legislative session. Anyone entering the Senate building must wear a face mask and have their temperature checked at the door. President Fann emphasized that masks must stay on whenever more than one person is in a room and failing to comply with the rules could result in an early end of the session. “I am convinced that adherence to these protocols is necessary to eliminate some of the divisiveness we have encountered throughout this pandemic…. failure to adhere could result in lack of quorums, inability to conduct voting, and other work we need to accomplish, or ultimately session shutdown.” Additional COVID-19 mitigation strategies include: Anyone who is sick, or is known to have been exposed to COVID-19 but doesn’t show symptoms, will be barred from entering the building until at least 10 days have passed since symptoms appeared or the person last took a positive COVID-19 test. If a Senator, employee, or visitor was exposed to a COVID-19 patient, he or she must stay away for at least 14 days, with some exceptions. Members of the public will only be allowed into the building to participate in committee hearings or attend scheduled meetings with lawmakers, and must leave the building once their activity ends. Speaker Bowers announced that the House will be following the same guidelines next session. House Republican Caucus Tension Poses Challenge For Session A few Republican caucus members have suggested that they will withhold voting for incumbent House Speaker Rusty Bowers (LD25) before the 55th Legislature convenes on January 11th, 2021.
