Vaguely-worded laws that could lead to prosecution of teachers is certainly not going to help the teacher retention problem. Teaching is hard enough without this.
Huppenthal is a political gadfly who can't win elections. His footprints are all over the comments-board map. From WaPo to AZ Rep. Nobody agrees with him.
Well the good news is that this time around Horne can’t charge the classes as teaching that type of protest as it was republican legislators who turned their backs and walked out on Katie Hobbs. Seriously though am i missing something ( like a synapse?!) If the prior law was deemed unconstitutional does the wording change make it potentially constitutional? Racism is racism is racism and its unconstitutional…..( which leads to my next question— does anyone else think there should be a badic intelligence test for future lawmakers?!)
‘Spreading bizarre conspiracy theories?” Who wrote that please? How can anyone possibly say there was no malfeasance in the 2022 election, after all the evidence and testimonies presented in court? They must be deaf, dumb and blind or seriously delusional.
Assuming this wasn't sarcasm, you're not going to get any support for your lunacy on this forum. Try OAN or Charlie Kirk's group of young fascists, they'll love you there.
re: HB2214, they are all now fully aware of the session law thing, but because they still can't be bothered to look at that text on their own, they need it to be big and blue? is there no budget for highlighters at the capitol?
Just another crooked lawyer’s OPINION…the world is full of them, but good to know I won’t be supported here. Guess you only value the opinions of those who agree with you! Pitiful!
Grateful as always for your concise but detailed explanation of the recent decades of context. I'm old enough to remember the headlines, but not old enough to recall all the gory details of the Horne years. Any chance you could point me to the name of the 2017 court case you referenced? For some reason the names of the cases never seem to make it into the coverage.
Ahh I think I cut the link to the ruling for space. Keeping the size of the email down is a real struggle. But it's one hell of a read. https://casetext.com/case/gonzalez-v-douglas
It's not even the word count that kills us -- it's the links. Apparently size means size of file, not really the length of the email. Fun newsletter facts lol.
I have a question regarding water rights. One of the updates said this: "...where developers are increasingly buying out the water rights of farmland." I was always taught that water rights stay with the land in Arizona; that we weren't like Colorado where water rights can be sold and owned separate from land ownership. When did this change?
Hey Veronica! You’re totally correct. I oversimplified that. They’re buying farmland (for the water rights) and piping the water to developments elsewhere, per the Bloomberg piece. Not simply buying the rights. Good eye! You know your water policy.
George Santos aka Anthony Devolder. Donald Trump aka John Barron. John Huppenthal aka Denisemarie Stefanisin. MAGA lunatics sure do like to have multiple names. That's not's insane or radical, is it??!!
Regarding water, has any "Water Tax and Dividend" idea been *floated* yet? "Carbon Tax and Dividend" is often brought up, but doesn't seem politically feasible on a national scale. When I hear water discussed, a lot of Arizonans are quick to cite how much water goes to agriculture, especially the Saudi-owned farms.
A Water Tax and Dividend seems like it would solve some of the municipal issues, as residents would probably come out on top with the dividend, and agriculture would basically be enriching AZ residents and stimulating our economy in exchange for our (what should be publicly owned) resources. It would also be a very adjustable way to incentivize water saving.
I would guess the main barrier to this would be incumbent water rights holders. It seems like most water decisions are made by tradition.

The light poles are safe because the Chiefs will win.

Our sacred right to vote was clearly compromised!

Appreciate it! Most people probably don't care to read it, so probably not a bad call for word count. :)

The scorpion image was something! I had to go look for how this could happen and found this from a couple years ago. https://www.rockseeker.com/scorpion-turned-into-copper/

But I'm very uninformed on all this!
