He’s Not Dead Unless I Say He’s Dead

Some folks are crowing about the fact that the TIME initiative got bounced from the ballot, but evidently this isn’t quite a fait accompli.
Here is a press release that the TIME folks sent out after the Secretary of State announced that the initiative wouldn’t qualify:
TIME Initiative Takes Steps to Qualify for November’s Ballot
Thousands of Arizonans […]

One From the Archives

I was poking around the New Times archives this weekend, and I looked up an article that I remembered from 1990. The legislative session that year was notable for its anti-youth tilt, with bills against cruising, limiting drivers licences and imposing a curfew (all this at the same time the lege was moving a bill […]

S’ok Kimble, I’ll Let the R Cubed Legal Department Handle This One

Despite the handwringing of a few about this being too early, this is actually about the same […]

More Redistricting Initiatives

Last week, Jan Brewer raised hackles because of what she called fraudulent tactics on the part of petition passers. Apparently, she alleges, some folks passing a petition to change the composition of the Arizona Redistricting Commission used “bait and switch” tactics. This left me to wonder, where was Brewer when the anti-gay marriage and PAN […]

While We Are At It, We Are Going to Prevent Burglaries by Leaving the Doors Unlocked

The Seceretary of State’s office had to take an estimated half-million documents off of their website that containted the social security information of Arizona citizens.
Seceretary of State spokesman Kevin Tyne tried to explain this away by saying that the information was taken off of the site hours after they heard it was up there. What, […]
