Most recently, Mr. Vogt provided critical leadership at a time of transition within State Parks & Trails as the interim director. A former Captain in the Unites States Air Force, Mr. Vogt earned a bachelor’s degree from Yale University, and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Arizona.

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.

Municipal Policystatement
2011 Municipal P olicy Statement Core Principles ■ PROTECT SHARED REVENUES. Arizona voters created the Revenue Sharing system through a series of initiatives. A portion of state- collected taxes goes back to cities and towns, which keeps taxpayers’ money working in local communities. Shared Revenue funds essential services that residents count on – public safety, streets, parks and libraries—and is crucial to the economic strength of the state. The League and the Legislature must work together to protect Shared Revenue and the local services it provides. ■ MAINTAIN LOCAL CONTROL. Freedom to make decisions at the local level is the best way that municipalities can fully serve their own constituencies. Because cities and the state work best as partners, the League urges the Legislature to oppose all preemptions and mandates that erode local decision-making authority. Quality Communities As the level of government closest to the people, cities and towns have the duty to work with their citizens to create high quality, safe places for people to live and work. From community improvements to smart growth planning, municipalities perform many roles in fulfilling their responsibilities. The League promotes the following to ensure Arizona is a great place to live: ■ TRUST LAND REFORM. Allow cities and towns to acquire trust lands for essential public facilities. ■ SUSTAINABLE ENERGY. Identify energy efficiency and renewable energy as a public benefit that enhances and promotes the health, safety, prosperity, and general welfare of the community. Establish a mechanism for the creation of a sustainable energy financing district authority. ■ PHYSICIAN RETENTION. Reduce obstacles to medical practice in Arizona and address any major issues that affect a physician’s decision to locate or remain in Arizona.
