End of Session Report
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. -

2015 Legislative Report and Scorecard
2015 LEGISLATIVE REPORT AND SCORECARD Desert Nesting Bald Eagle photo by Robin Silver ARIZONA 2015 LEGISLATIVE REPORT By Karen Michael This year Humane Voters of Arizona (HVA) joined with other animal protection groups to form the Humane Legislative Coalition of Arizona (HCLA), an alliance of local animal advocacy organizations. Member groups include HVA, Animal Defense League of Arizona, Arizona Humane Society, and Humane Society of Southern Arizona. The coalition hired Brian Tassinari, the outstanding political consultant who helped to kill last session’s bad farm animal bill. This represents the Arizona animal community’s largest effort to date to protect our state’s animals and citizen initiative rights. Polls indicate that Arizona voters strongly support endangered Mexican wolf reintroduction and farm animal protection. This was demonstrated by the outpouring of support requesting a veto of the farm animal bill. Animal protection is a nonpartisan issue. A perfect example is that two of the most vocal supporters, Senators Farley and Kavanagh, are at polar ends of the political spectrum, yet they consistently agree when it comes to fighting for animals. The Good Bills The Cat Impound Exemption Bill (SB 1260) This beneficial measure exempts impounded cats from minimum holding periods at animal control facilities if the cat is eligible for a trap, neuter, return (TNR) program. Eligible cats are sterilized and ear-tipped and returned to their outdoor homes. Best Friends Animal Society drafted the original bill, SB 1198, which was sponsored by Senator Kavanagh. The bill failed on the House floor after an amendment was added to prohibit pound fees to be charged to anyone reclaiming an impounded cat. -

Media Contact: Ken Strobeck, Executive Director League of Arizona Cities and Towns 602‐258‐5786 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 19, 2015 STATE LEGISLATORS TO BE HONORED BY THE LEAGUE OF ARIZONA CITIES AND TOWNS DURING ANNUAL CONFERENCE TUCSON — The League of Arizona Cities and Towns will honor 47 members of the Arizona Legislature for their work during the 2015 legislative session at the organization’s annual conference on Thursday, August 20 in Tucson. The legislators are being recognized for their commitment to local government decision making and providing support to cities and towns in their districts and statewide. “We are pleased to honor these legislators for their service to Arizona,” said Tempe Mayor and League President Mark Mitchell. “They are devoted supporters of cities and towns, understanding that municipalities are most effective when they are able to make the decisions that will directly impact those people who live, work and play within their communities.” The League’s legislative agenda includes two basic core principles: commitment to local decision‐making by the elected leaders of cities and towns, and a commitment to the revenue sharing system established by the voters through a series of initiative measures. The League’s highest honor goes to “Legislative Champions.” This year, they are: Representative Mark Cardenas (D‐19) Representative Doug Coleman (R‐16) Senator Lupe Contreras (D‐19) Representative Karen Fann (R‐1) Representative Jay Lawrence (R‐23) Representative Eric Meyer (D‐28) -

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. -

Primary Election Outlook
Primary Election Outlook Primary Season Thursday, July 31, marked the start of early voting in Arizona. With a majority of voters having received their ballot over the weekend, all eyes are on the August 26th Republican Primary which promises to be hotly contested for all statewide offices. Two of those contentious primary races are for the Republican nomination for Arizona Governor and Attorney General. The Republican Gubernatorial field is crowded and includes several familiar faces: • Ken Bennett, Arizona Secretary of State • Doug Ducey, Arizona State Treasurer • Christine Jones, former GoDaddy legal counsel • Frank Riggs, former California Congressman • Scott Smith, former Mayor of Mesa, AZ • Andy Thomas, former, disbarred Maricopa County Attorney By most accounts, the race for Governor appears to be boiling down to Doug Ducey and Christine Jones with Scott Smith and Ken Bennett further behind. Almost every impartial poll – if there is such a thing – shows Ducey and Jones relatively neck and neck for first place, but there are still a significant number of undecided voters so the question remains, which of the other candidates could play the role of spoiler. The Republican primary contest for Attorney General is also heating up as incumbent Tom Horne faces newcomer, former Arizona Gaming Director, Mark Brnovich. Horne has been the subject of numerous investigations during the last several years, and if he survives the primary, smart money is on Felicia Rotellini beating the incumbent in the General due to her name ID from the 2010 race, the eXcitement and support generated from her party, and Horne’s baggage during his time in office.
