I don’t usually feel proud of the Az state legislature but want to make a shout out to those that signed the call for a ceasefire. Murdering children in our name and with tax dollars that could better be spent helping them is just wrong. As Rashida Tlaib asked her colleagues recently “the cries of israeli and palestinian children sound the same to me— why don’t they sound the same to you?” And finally , what does a “humanitarian pause” in the killing mean when we are arming the conflict? Are our policymakers just making sure that remaining palestinian civilians get food to eat before our bombs kill them? CEASEFIRE NOW! And END THE OCCUPATION!
Why is the only option to budget deficits cuts? I know tax increases would be a long shot with Republican legislators, but is Ducey's flat tax not also a contributing factor to the problem?
Of course you're correct -- cuts are not the ONLY option. But raising taxes requires a 2/3 vote in each chamber of the Legislature. So while it might be a pretty obvious solution, it's not politically feasible.
Tom Horne apparently doesn’t know the law on clubs in public schools. Though he also claims to know the law as a lawyer.

And I guess I should note that also applies to repealing tax cuts.
