But, they Still Get Basic Cable and Can Learn Culinary Skills from Man Vs. Wild

Yes, yes, we are supposed to respect political differences and respect people that have other policy ideas because that’s what makes our democracy so strong and great.
But sometimes I really gotta question that, especially after reading about Frank Antenori’s new proposal to make recipients of state aid sign pledges that they won’t drink alcohol, smoke [...]

How Not to Get an Appointment from the Board of Supervisors

I’ve been watching with great interest the show that Frank Antenori has been putting on in an effort to get the appointment when Jonathan Paton resigns his senate seat. Here is Antenori, quoted in several sources:
I think the Board of Supervisors would much rather have a guy in the Senate that has been working with [...]

Mr. McGee, Don’t Make Me Angry…

Frank Antenori, as quoted by Jim Nintzel in Tucson Weekly’s Range blog:
I think the Board of Supervisors would much rather have a guy in the Senate that has been working with them than a guy who is working against them. I think they’d rather have a happy Frank Antenori rather than an angry Frank Antenori. [...]

Przeciwruch

I recieved an e-mail today from Sam Wercinski’s campaign touting four endorsements: Corporation Commissioner Sandra Kennedy, Pima County Supervisor Richard Elías, Yuma County Supervisor Lenore Loroña Stuart and Flagstaff Vice-Mayor Al White. I wrote back to the campaign asking about other elected officials who have endorsed Wercinski, and they said that they will be releasing [...]

Kromko, Kromko, Kromko

Dang, that’s some serious stuff.
Yeah, John Kromko has ticked me off for a few years now, but I have to wonder if there is a bit of overcharging here. “What?” you say, “The Pima County Attorney’s office overcharging in a high profile case? I’m shocked.” A couple of forged signatures on a petition leading to [...]

The RTA election consisted of two separate questions. The first asked voters to indicate yes or no [...]

Gary “US”…

I just got back from a County Bond committee meeting, we are still mulling over whether to have a bond election this year. Because we have paid off old bonds, selling new bonds won’t necessarily result in an increase in taxes. Of course, that won’t stop the againits from pontificating about tax increases anyway.
Here is how [...]

Last Week’s Meeting

I’ve been getting no love from YouTube lately. I have had a whale of a time uploading to those guys. But, here, finally, is some video I took at the meeting last week. The first video is remarks by Steve Farley and Paula Aboud, while the second is remarks from Nina Trasoff and Rodney Glassman.

Credit Where Credit Is Due Department

I attended the Eckstrom Brothers annual Christmas Wrapping party last night, and who should show up but former Tucson Weekly Automatic Firearms Editor, sometime Republican consultant and conservative radio personality Emil Franzi. Franzi not only made an appearance, but helped with the toy wrapping. He even had some kind words for me when I was [...]

Eckerstrom, Kromko in the Octagon

The Democratic club in Legislative District 27 had a holiday party the other night. John Kromko, who had an unsuccessful bid to return to the legislature this year, came by. This led to a confrontation between him and Paul Eckerstrom, former Pima County Democratic Party Chair.
Eckerstrom helped head up the effort for the TUSD override this year. [...]
