    2014 End of Session Report ARIZONA PEST PROFESSIONALS ORGANIZATION Prepared by: Capitol Consulting, LLC 818 N. 1st Street Phoenix, AZ 85004 www.azcapitolconsulting.com P a g e | 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Dear AZPPO Members: Sine Die! On April 24, 2014, the 51st Arizona Legislature adjourned sine die at 1:46 AM after 101 days in session. By rule a session can last 100 days with provisions in place for extending it. As you recall, those provisions were put to the test last year with the uncomfortably long 151-day session. The 51st Legislature, 2nd Regular Session officially commenced January 13, 2014. A total of 1,205 bills were introduced by the legislature and of those, 276 have been signed by Governor Janice K. Brewer. The session began as usual with the governor announcing policy priorities for the year during the State of the State address. The governor’s priorities were perhaps met with a little more attentiveness from the legislature after a rocky end to the 2013 session. As you may recall part of the Governor’s ambitious 2013 agenda meant crossing political boundaries at the expense of the most conservative within the state’s GOP. In 2013, the governor muscled her way to pass the Medicaid expansion. After weeks of stalled budget negotiations, the Governor called a Special Legislative Session in an effort to bypass House and Senate leadership and call Medicaid to question. The move sparked rumors of a legislative coup and drove a wedge straight through the Republican caucus, dividing the moderate and conservative members. During her final State of the State address in January, Governor Brewer focused on two priorities including a complete overhaul of the state’s defunct child protective services and a proposal to create new incentives for manufactures to set up shop in Arizona.

  • GOLDWATER INSTITUTE What Citizens, Policymakers, and Reporters Should Know

    GOLDWATER INSTITUTE What Citizens, Policymakers, and Reporters Should Know

    A Reporter’s Guide to the GOLDWATER INSTITUTE What Citizens, Policymakers, and Reporters Should Know Preface Introduction In March 2013, the Center for Media and Democracy and Arizona Working Families jointly released the Reporter’s Guide to the Goldwater Institute, which detailed the institute’s ties to out-of-state corporate interests, huge bonuses awarded to top executives (made possible by taxpayer funds), and murky internal finances. The Blog for Arizona called the report a “must read for anyone who cares about how laws are actually made in Arizona” and the report was subsequently covered in The Arizona Republic, Phoenix New Times, and on KTVK’s evening news program. Conservative economics journalist Jon Talton called on “every Arizonan” to read the “exemplary piece of investigation.” Since the report’s publication, the Goldwater Institute – which shrugged off the report’s findings that it was closely connected to the American Legislative Exchange Council and the Koch brothers as “hardly a surprise” – has continued to work in favor of those interests and against the interests of working Arizonans. The following research updates the original report by cataloging the Goldwater Institute’s most recent efforts to peddle the agenda of ALEC, the Kochs, and corporate interests at the expense of Arizonans. Still Pushing the ALEC Agenda The Reporter’s Guide to the Goldwater Institute and ALEC in Arizona describe how the Goldwater Institute works hand-in-hand with ALEC to push ALEC’s agenda in Arizona. Goldwater, like many ALEC partners, responded indignantly when U.S. Senator Dick Durbin sought information about whether it supports the ALEC/NRA “model legislation” known as “Stand Your Ground” laws, which ALEC has sought to distance itself from in the aftermath of the national outrage over the handling of the George Zimmerman case.
