Just got an e-mail from Jan Brewer’s campaign in which she takes on Dean Martin. Martin has had some days of decent press lately. Since he’s the State Treasurer, he can couch his criticisms of the legislature and governor as part of his ministerial responsibilities. She can’t be too happy about the free ride he’s [...]
The Governor’s office put out a press release this afternoon entitled “Governor Jan Brewer Proposes Reforms to Re-Open Arizona Rest Areas.” You’ll notice that she actually doesn’t say that she is re-opening the rest areas, and she actually isn’t. She’s asking the Secretary of Transportation for some regulatory changes. In other words, she ain’t doing much, but [...]
A rally will be held today at 5:00 at El Rio Neighborhood Center to support adult education and GED testing, both of which are eliminated in Jan Brewer’s budget. The El Rio Neighborhood Center is at 1390 W Speedway, between Grande and Silverbell.
It would surprise many people to know about the number of people who [...]
One of the little bits from La Cervecera’s State of the State Address that has gotten some folks talking was Jan Brewer’s non-introduction of State Treasurer Dean Martin and Attorney General Terry Goddard. It might not have been as remarked on except that the Governor made a point of looking at the two of them [...]
Jan Brewer in yesterday’s State of the State address:
No government ever created a dollar of wealth.
Any word on whether she took a look at Steve Yarbrough or Tom Boone when she said this?
The latest press release from Raúl Grijalva after the jump:
In her speech yesterday, Jan Brewer actually used the words “waste and abuse.” If we ferret out that “waste and abuse,” we’ll surely save enough money to solve our budget crisis. When I hear these words (along with that third musketeer: “fraud”), it usually means you have a politician that either doesn’t want to tell [...]
Monday, Jan Brewer called an “emergency” meeting of her cabinet to discuss options for the current budget crisis. Some wags have pointed out that this crisis has been taking place for months and wonder where the “emergency” attitude was all those months ago.
I, for one, couldn’t disagree more. R-Cubed has learned that La Cervecera is [...]
I received the a missive from Chris Deschene’s exploratory committee yesterday. In it, he pledges that his office will be above electoral politics. Money quote:
Because we need a Chief Elections Officer who is impartial, I’m also doing something that has never been done before and making it my personal pledge not to support ANY candidate [...]
Well, our next special session has been called. Whether it actually will accomplish something or will be a series of ten-minute “pledge and pray” sessions remains to be seen.
(Yep, each day’s business opens with a prayer. To paraphrase Mo Udall’s old joke: the chaplain looks out at the assembled legislators and prays for the State [...]
