I was suprised enough this weekend when I heard that Jim Weiers was going to attempt to present his own budget apart from his Senate counterpart and fellow Republican Tim Bee, but I was even more suprised when I heard rumblings that some Democrats were going to go along.
Well, it seems to have happened. Today, [...]
More details later, but it appears that members of the renegade Heptarchy have voted with Speaker Jim Weiers and his retrograde budget proposals. Thanks for being pals, guys!
I read on Saturday that Raúl Grijalva will be doing a “Know Your District” segment on The Colbert Report. My first reaction was, hey, you give that to the Star and not to me? What’s up with that? Where is the love?
Anyhow, Grijalva will be taping the segment in a couple of weeks for a [...]
I attended the State Democratic Party meeting yesterday. I heard from more than a few folks that I haven’t listed the possible Democratic candidates in CD 1. Yeah, because I haven’t written enough about CD1. I don’t even live in CD 1.
I have two reasons why I haven’t done a post on the candidates in [...]
Now, my always reliable sources are giving a new reason for Rick Renzi deciding to stick around a bit longer. Of course, some of these people also told me that he’d be gone on Friday…
Often in these sorts of situations, an office holder will use the resignation as a bargaining chip in plea negotiations. If [...]
After the last election, you’d often hear near cackling from Republicans about how Harry Mitchell was some one-term fluke, destined to join the ranks of Sam Coppersmith, Karan English and Jim McNulty as Democratic one-term wonders. (The wonders don’t care, we don’t give a damn…) We heard how a Republican, any Republican, would run over [...]
So, as it turns out Rick Renzi didn’t resign yesterday. He instead issued a short statement:
For several weeks, I have been the subject of leaked stories, conjecture, and false attacks about a land exchange. None of them bear any resemblance to the truth, including the rumor that I am planning on resigning.
The talk that was [...]
One poster put up some details of a John Edwards fundraiser in Tucson, but as it turns out there will also be a “community meeting” with Edwards Thursday afternoon.
The event will be at 4:30 next Thursday at the Plumbers and Steamfitters Hall at 2475 E Water Street (get it, it’s on Water Street!). The hall [...]
One of my pet peeves with political journalism is the way that wealthy liberals are attacked as ”hypocritical” for caring about poor folks, but genuine patrician conservatives are labeled “ordinary guys” when they pretend to like pork rinds and NASCAR and throw a “y’all” in here and there.
I give you as example number one Mitt Romney. The first time [...]
Saturday, the District 28 legislative delegation, Sen. Paula Aboud, Rep. Dave Bradley and Rep. Steve Farley, will be holding a “Town Hall” meeting at Martha Cooper Library, 1377 N Catalina. Catalina is one block East of Columbus, and the library is two blocks North of Speedway. The, um, fun gets underway at 10:30 and should [...]
