I got a breaking tip from a student that was present at the Board of Regents meeting at the U of A. The planned tuition hike for U of A students was $1100, but that was pared down to $766. Unfortunately, the intrepid R-Cubed freelancer that was at the meeting had to go to class [...]
This from the Arizona Capitol Times:
The Citizens Clean Elections Commission this morning could decide to take the monumental step of beginning a process to remove north Phoenix Rep. Doug Quelland from office.
