July 1, 2020 the Honorable Doug Ducey Governor, State Of July 1, 2020 The Honorable Doug Ducey Governor, State of Arizona 1700 West Washington Street Phoenix, AZ 85007 Dear Governor Ducey: In August 2017, after the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, the Arizona Preservation Foundation requested that the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission (AHAC) meet to review, discuss, and recommend to the proper authorities the removal of Confederate memorials on Arizona public land or those maintained by public funding. State Representative Reginald Bolding and several Arizona civil rights organizations also called upon your Administration and the State Legislature to support their removal. Unfortunately, nothing was done. Three years later, after yet another senseless killing of an African-American and the subsequent nationwide demonstrations seeking the elimination of systemic racism and bigotry, the Foundation created a sign-on letter for Arizona individuals and organizations to add their names, now in excess of 300, in support of the removal of the following Confederate memorials from Arizona public property: • Monument to Arizona Confederate Troops, Wesley Bolin Plaza, Phoenix • Confederate Monument, Historical Soldiers Monument Cemetery area of the state- owned Southern Arizona Veterans' Cemetery, Sierra Vista • Jefferson Davis monument highway marker, U.S. Route 60, east of Phoenix • Battle of Picacho Pass monument, Picacho Peak State Park, Pinal County The removal of these monuments will not “change” history or “erase” it. What does change with such removals is what Arizona decides is worthy of civic honor and recognition. As historians, Arizonans, and Americans, we have an obligation to confront the complex and often difficult stories of our past. We fully recognize the multitude of ways that our understanding and characterization of our shared story continues to shape our collective future. P.O. Box 13492, Phoenix, AZ 85002 • 602-687-7092 • [email protected] • EIN 86-0371336 Each of these monuments was installed in the 20th century, long after the Civil War ended. As noted by the National Trust for Historic Preservation: “Advocates of the Lost Cause erected these monuments all over the country to vindicate the Confederacy at the bar of history, erase the central issues of slavery and emancipation from our understanding of the war, and reaffirm a system of state-sanctioned white supremacy. Put simply, the erection of these Confederate monuments and enforcement of Jim Crow went hand- in-hand. They were intended as a celebration of white supremacy when they were constructed [and] they are still being used as symbols and rallying points for such hate today.” One day before Juneteenth 2020 and on the same day that the president & CEO of the National Trust spoke to attendees of the Arizona Preservation in Place virtual conference, the National Trust updated and strengthened its own 2017 statement on Confederate Monuments to read: “We believe it is past time for us, as a nation, to acknowledge that some monuments do not reflect, and are in fact abhorrent to, our values and to our foundational obligation to continue building a more perfect union that embodies equality and justice for all. Our view is that unless these monuments can in fact be used to foster recognition of the reality of our painful past and invite reconciliation for the present and the future, they should be removed from our public spaces.” These monuments celebrate and promote bigotry and racism. They are devoid of true Arizona history and their very presence continues to hurt our African-American friends, neighbors, co- workers, and strangers we may meet on the bus, at the lunch counter, or on a march for justice. Today, one day after the Governor of Mississippi signed a bill to remove the Confederate emblem from the Mississippi State Flag and three days before the 244th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence marking the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation, we urge you and your Administration to act to initiate the removal of Confederate monuments on public (American) property. The Foundation also requests that the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission (AHAC) audit the state for other names, markers, and monuments that promote bigotry and racism and work with other public agencies to begin the process of their removal as well.

In light of the recent events in this and related Dockets, I feel deeply that Johnson Utilities' track record for delay and blatant contumacy for the Commission's authority I i should no longer be allowed to prevent the Commission from taking action on its executive and judicial duties. The history of Johnson Utilities has consistently been that of delay and obstructionism, unscrupulous litigation, and wanton disrespect, and now we are looking at potentially life-threatening conditions to the public, employees, and first responders while our interim manager agreement is suspended for an indefinite period of time. The critical health and safety crises ECOR advised us of last week go to the heart of why urgency and compliance were so imperative for the Commission from the outset.

  • Municipal 2012
    2012 Municipal policy Statement Core Principles • PROTECTION OF SHARED REVENUES. Arizona’s municipalities rely on the existing state-collected shared revenue system to provide quality services to their residents. The League will resist any attacks on this critical source of funding for localities, which are responsibly managing lean budgets during difficult economic times. The League opposes unfunded legislative mandates, as well as the imposition of fees and assessments on municipalities as a means of shifting the costs of State operations onto cities and towns. In particular, the League opposes any further diversions of Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) monies away from municipalities and calls upon the Legislature to restore diverted HURF funding to critical road and street projects. • PRESERVATION OF LOCAL CONTROL. The League calls upon the Arizona Legislature to respect the authority of cities and towns to govern their communities free from legislative interference and the imposi- tion of regulatory burdens. The League shares the sentiments of Governor Brewer, who, in vetoing anti-city legislation last session, wrote: “I am becoming increasingly concerned that many bills introduced this session micromanage decisions best made at the local level. What happened to the conservative belief that the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people?” Fiscal Stewardship The League is prepared to support reasonable reforms to the state revenue system that adhere to the principles of simplicity, fairness and balance and that do not infringe upon the ability of cities and towns to implement tax systems that reflect local priorities and economies. • The League proposes to work with the Legislature to ensure that both the State and municipalities are equipped with the economic development tools they need to help them remain competitive nationally and internationally.

    2020 Election Preview A Pandemic of Electoral Chaos Arizona Association of Health Underwriters Prepared by Dr. Marcus Osborn and Dan Romm Kutak Rock, LLP Arizona 2020 Key Election Dates Early Register to Request Last Day to Election Day Voting Vote an Early Mail Ballot Begins Deadline Ballot Deadline 2 Arizona 2020 Ballot Propositions “Pot and Schools Go together like Peas and Carrots” 3 Proposition 207 – Smart and Safe Arizona Act Proposition 207 would legalize recreational marijuana use in Arizona for people ages 21 and over. Under the proposal, purchases would be charged the regular sales tax plus an additional 16 percent, which would fund the government’s cost of administering the program. Any money left over will be allocated to community colleges, infrastructure, roads and highways, public safety and public health. This measure allows people who have been arrested or convicted of some marijuana offenses, such as possessing, consuming or transporting 2.5 ounces or less, to petition to have their records expunged. Additionally, this proposal clarifies that people can be charged with driving under the influence of marijuana. 4 Proposition 208 – Invest in Education Act Backed by the state’s teacher’s union, Proposition 208 calls for a 3.5 percent tax surcharge on income above $250,000 for an individual or above $500,000 for couples. This initiative hopes to raise about $940 million a year for schools. Under this ballot proposal, half of the new tax generated would be devoted to raises for credentialed teachers, 25 percent would go to increasing the wages for cafeteria workers, bus drivers and other support staff, and the remaining amount would be allocated for teacher training, vocational education and other initiatives.

  • Beyond the Beltway a Report on State Energy and Climate Policies
    POLICY BRIEF FEBRUARY 2018 BEYOND THE BELTWAY A REPORT ON STATE ENERGY AND CLIMATE POLICIES Daniel A. Farber Beyond the Beltway: A Report on State Energy and Climate Policies Summary Federal policy receives the bulk of the nation’s attention to energy and climate matters, from President Obama’s Clean Power Plan to President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. Yet much of our nation’s energy and climate policy is made by governors, state legislatures and agencies across the country. However, it can be very difficult to track these disparate actions to understand where progress is being made and which states are falling behind. Beyond the Beltway provides insight into the range of factors – political, geographical, economic and more – that determine the immensely varied state energy and climate policies across the nation. About this Report This Report is a compilation of a series of Legal Planet blog posts written in late 2017 and early 2018. Legal Planet is a collaborative effort of the UC Berkeley and UCLA Schools of Law and is accessible at www.legal-planet.org. The original posts were compiled here and edited for consistency. About the Author Daniel A. Farber is the Sho Sato Professor of Law and Co-Faculty Director of the Center for Law, Energy & the Environment at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. He is an internationally recognized environmental law and constitutional law expert.
