Okay…yes, y’all were right, the logo was for the Tampa Bay Mutiny, which played in MLS from 1996-2001. The Mutiny was demobilized and sent to Pitcarin before the beginning of the 2002 season.
The Mutiny’s best season was in 1996, where they piled on a 20 - 12 record and Roy Lassiter scored a league high […]
Hey, I’ve got a buddy on the State Board of Regents now. This week, David Martinez III of Marana was confirmed as Student Regent, and he gets to serve on that august body for a year.
His road to confirmation was not smooth, however. I know it’s shocking for a candidate for Student Regent, but Martinez […]
There was a Salute to Republican Legislators Wednesday night. A great night for unity, doncha think?
Well, not quite. The speaker was Steve Moore (but not R. Stevie Moore), head of the RINO hunting Club for Growth and member of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board. Moore’s talk included some rather specific criticisms of the Senate budget.
Reports […]
The Sunnyside Education Assosciation has announced a forum to discuss the state budget with members of the community. The meeting will be held on Monday at 6:30 PM at the Sunnyside High School Auditorium (near Campbell and Valencia). Members of the House have been invited to speak, and several have made plans to come, including […]
Organizers of the robocall campaign against Democrats that threatened to vote for Speaker Weiers’s budget are so happy with their results that they are aparently now going after soft Republicans. Details later.
I urge the Governor to sign SB1132, Jack Harper’s “Homeland Security Force” bill. I understand the reluctance of the Governor to sign it, but I can assure her that this militia will be well run. How do I know this?
Well, because I am suggesting that she put me in charge of it.
Okay, I know, you all […]
Reports are now afoot at the capitol that the votes that were promised by renegade Democrats for Speaker Jim Weier’s budget plan have vaporized. Either these Democrats have gotten cold feet after the pounding they have taken from AEA members (geez, imagine if they were still allowed to hit these breakaways with rulers…) and a mysterious […]
A quick perusal of the official list from the Clerk’s office shows Robert Reus has filed his paperwork to run in the Democratic primary for Ward 2 City Council. Reus has been a frequent speaker at Mayor and Council meetings and advocates a strong-mayor form of government.
Reus has until June 13th to get at least […]
There was a meeting this weekend of county chairs where the CD 1 candidates were discussed. One of the subtexts of the discussion was that there may be too many darned candidates on the Democratic side.
That may be the case, but there are some candidates who have been mentioned only because they have run for […]
So, what exactly did Linda Lopez and Pete Rios get for their constituents in exchange for their support of the speaker’s budget?
In the end, not much, really.
Part of the deal they made with the Republicans was that their amendments would be revenue neutral. Instead of asking for a reduction in the nearly $48 million in corporate […]
My mom got a robo call today that went through a rundown of the bill that Linda Lopez voted to move forward, and then promised to connect the listener to Lopez’s office. Gawd…that’s some serious juice there. Anyone have any idea who is funding that?
The heat thrown at Lopez and Pete Rios has apparently caused […]
Action alert from the sent by the Arizona Education Association yesterday.
This afternoon Representative Russell Pearce (R - Mesa) held the first hearing on the House Republican Leadership’s budget proposal where it passed his House Appropriations Committee. An initial review reveals a budget package that is out of touch with the needs and priorities of Arizona voters. […]
I see our national media has finally decided to go after the worst coverup in American political history, nay, the history of the world. The word “Rodham” does not appear (and another story here) on Hillary Clinton’s website. If you aren’t outraged by this, you obviously aren’t paying attention.
I’m hoping that this will lead them […]
In my last couple of drives to Phoenix, I’ve been struck by the two billboards that are up in opposition to a proposed rail yard emblazoned with the words “Save the Peak!”
I’m a bit confused about folks who want to save the senic beauty of Picacho Peak advertising their cause on large freeway billboards that block […]
