  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Animal Defense League of Arizona Met Repeatedly with Bill Sponsor, Rep
    2012 LEGISLATIVE REPORT AND SCORECARD Desert Nesting Bald Eagle photo by Robin Silver ARIZONA 2012 LEGISLATIVE REPORT In the 2012 session Arizona legislators passed a bill that will allow law enforcement to seize an animal that is a victim of cruelty or abandonment. However, the legislature also continued its annual attacks on wildlife and citizen initiatives. And for the second year in a row, Senator Ron Gould blocked the bill to expand the roadside sale of animals statewide. The Good Bills Animal Seizure Bill The Legislature passed a bill that allows law enforcement to enter properties to seize an animal if there is probable cause to believe that the animal is suffering from cruelty or abandonment. The bill also requires that those arrested for animal cruelty or fighting, after an appropriate hearing, must post a bond to provide for the cost of caring for seized animals. HB 2462 (Ugenti, Burges*, Carter, Hobbs, Melvin, et al) was requested by law enforcement and supported by animal protection groups. It was signed into law by the governor. *Although Sen. Burges sponsored the bill, she voted against it on the floor. Tucson Greyhound Park ‘Decoupling’ Bill Dog track owners again introduced a bill to reduce the number of live races at Tucson Greyhound Park. SB 1273 (Reagan, Mesnard) passed the legislature and was signed into law by Governor Brewer. The bill was supported by animal protection groups. State law requires dog tracks to run a minimum of nine races a day, for four days a week, in order for the track to conduct simulcasting.
