The source materials from "which this model is shaped include the most promising and challenging of the administrative reorganization principles and concepts that have been set forth in myriad publications and the view adopted by the average member of the Arizona polity with respect to the functions and responsibilities of the governor and his adminis­ tration. The governor's legal, political, and traditional powers are set forth, and the historical development and present adequacy of the governor's immediate office staff is studied. The thesis then indicates the weaknesses in the governor's budget and appointing-removal powers and compares the chief executive's powers in other areas with the constructed model. Methods for controlling the strengthened governor are discussed, along with proposals for increasing the authority and efficiency of the Arizona legislature. The study concludes with the assumption that the model represents the desired ends that the state's executive machinery should achieve and indicates that administrative reforms have been challenged and continue to be challenged by strong critical argument. Some guidelines to aid reorganization sponsors in achieving their goals are included. viii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The organization of the state executive branch and, more specifically, the office of the governor and his powers have been the subject of widespread, extensive studies and analyses throughout the United States. The fertile field of Arizona politics and government has afforded the student of political science an excellent opportunity for research in this extremely important area. The present study is intended to be a contribution to the knowledge of those in Arizona who seek to understand better the fascinating subject of their state government. I. THE PROBLEM Statement of the Problem The proponents of administrative reorganization have maintained since the early 1900*s that the chief executives of American states are handicapped in their attempts to perform their duties as elected public servants by inadequate powers and inefficient administrative organization. No state has escaped the constructive criticisms and suggestions put forth by these reformers. Some states have responded by revamping, either in part or completely, their executive branches in accordance with the reorganization principles which promise a sounder, more efficient execution of the functions of the modern 1 2 state government. Others have not. Arizona is a member of the latter group having experienced no major change in its executive machinery since the achievement of statehood in 1912. That a continued effort will be made to obtain some measure of administrative reorganization in Arizona government is indicated by this observation from Dr. Robert E. Riggs, Research Associate of the Bureau of Business and Public Research of the University of Arizona: What is the future of administrative reorganization in Arizona? It is not currently a major issue, nor has it been since 195^• On the basis of past experience, however, one can safely predict that reorganization will come again to prominence in Arizona politics— possibly within five years, almost certainly within the decade. The basic condition of governmental expansion and proliferation which gave substance to demands for reorganiza­ tion in the past has continued its inexorable march. Such growth cannot be ignored. It does not guarantee that reorganization will take place but it does guarantee periodic outbursts of demand for reorganization, as well as almost constant piecemeal efforts to accommodate the growth pressures.^ This movement is based

  • Southern Arizona, United States of America
    Southern Arizona, United States of America 2 – ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Assessment and recommendations Southern Arizona region: from a resource-based economy to a knowledge-based economy Southern Arizona is the southern-most part of the state of Arizona in the United States. bordering the Mexican state of Sonora, with a multi-cultural heritage and a major gateway for trade with Mexico. The vast desert region consists of Pima County, Cochise County and Santa Cruz County, and has a population of approximately 1.2 million, accounting for 18% of the state population. The engine of the region’s development is the Tucson metropolitan area, the second largest metropolitan area in the state, just behind the Phoenix metropolitan area. About 23% of the land in Southern Arizona is owned by Native Americans, Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui Nations, who continue to feature low education, labour market and health outcomes. Population growth is a major strength in the region, an opportunity for many industry sectors, but at the same time it poses cultural, economic and political challenges. Since World War II, Arizona has had one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. Between 1990 and 2000, Arizona experienced a 40.0% population increase which slowed down to 26.7% between 2000 and 2008. In Southern Arizona, the corresponding figures were 26.0% and 18.4%. Arizona has the fastest growing Hispanic population in the US, comprising about 25% of the state population and 27% of that of Southern Arizona. In Tucson, 40% of the residents identify themselves as Hispanic, while in Santa Cruz the majority of population are Hispanic.

  • The Birth of Arizona
    RIZO A THE BIRTH OF ARIZONA THE BABY STATE Bt J. MORRIS RICHARDS ARIZONA STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Hi PHOENIX, ARIZONA 1940 GEORGE W. P. HUNT, President ARIZONA CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION 132899 PREFACE 40* The story of the Birth of Arizona is told here from the viewpoint of the newspaper men and the political party leaders who were active during the period in which the persistent efforts of Arizonans to obtain state- hood finally bore fruit. Much of the material that can be found in public records purposely has been omitted, particularly statis- tical records and lists of names. The purpose of this little book is to bring to the citizens of Arizona, and others, a rather complete story of that period in the history of the state which began when Congress and the President acted to admit Arizona and New Mexico into the Union. It closes with the es- tablishment, through the inauguration of the first state officials, of Arizona as the Baby State. Grateful acknowledgment is made to the many news- papers still published in Arizona for the quotations from their files. Appreciation is expressed to Mulford Winsor, state librarian, for permission to use the files of the library and for his criticism and verification of much of the material contained herein. Thanks are given, too, to Mr. Hilliard Brooke for his evaluation of the manu- script, and to Miss Margaret Bouck for her part in its preparation for the printer. Special thanks are given to Aloa Dixon Richards, my wife, for her assistance while the material was in proof form.
