One of R-Cubed’s correspondents reports that Tim Bee told some people at a meeting of educational administrators yesterday that if he and Marsha Arzberger were in charge, this whole budget situation would be resolved.
Well…that’s very nice. Frankly, if any individual legislator were in charge, the budget situation would be resolved. Even if if was this guy. […]
Today, Jack Harper’s Government Committee quietly held a hearing and re-appointed General David Rataczak as the Adjutant General of the Arizona National Guard. The appointment passed 6-0 after months of Harper holding it up due to his own tantrum and Tim Bee refusing to intervene on behalf of Rataczak.
Well…that’s nice. I just wonder why it couldn’t have been […]
Anyone remember when Tim Bee announced that Meg Econ, one of his campaign staffers, had assured folks that the campaign had already raised over $300,000?
Now that we can actually see the reports, it seems that Bee’s campaign has only raised $285,694. Which, for you fiscal conservatives out there, is not “well over $300,000.”
(An aside here: […]
At 7:18 AM yesterday, Mark Kimble wrote this on the Tucson Citizen’s blog:
[Tim] Bee plans to make it all formal Saturday morning at Palo Verde High School, where he is an alum.
Maybe he should rethink the location.
In 2006, Democrat and former television news anchor Patty Weiss showed up at Palo Verde High School – her […]
People keep telling me that Tim Bee is going to tell us whether or not he’s going to run for congress this weekend.
Wow. I wonder what he is going to say?
According to his press release, he’s announcing Saturday morning at Palo Verde High School. For those who like unintentional symbolism, a candidate announced at Palo […]
Jack Harper, our favorite small-minded vindictive legislator, is at it again. He has filed a bill, SB 1064, that allows unaffiliated voters to vote in primaries.
“Gee, Tedski, that doesn’t sound so vindictive. Maybe you should step back and let Harper do his job for a change. Don’t you have something else to write about?”
Ah…but remember […]
A conflict that has been simmering for the past few months is about to come to a boil. You may remember that at the beginning of the summer there was a dispute over the reappointment of Arizona’s National Guard Adjutant General, General David Rataczak. Senator Jack Harper, Chariman of the Goverment Committee, refused to schedule a […]
The Phoenix Business Journal recently published an article about Phoenix-area leaders travelling to Ireland to find out about the the phenomenal growth in their technology sector there.
In response, a fellow named Tom Jenney from the Arizona Federation of Taxpayers wrote a letter saying that Ireland’s low corporate income tax is the real secret to their […]
There have been a couple of articles in this past week (here and here) criticizing Tim Bee for not stepping down from his position in the State Senate in preparation for his possible, no, likely, no, certain run for congress next year.
I’m a bit torn about this. I mean, anything where the local press is […]
Someone sent me this tidbit yesterday. Blog for Arizona has already tackled it, but why use that as a reason to deny it from you, my reading public?
Both Tim Bee and Russell Pearce have websites up. As we all know, both are “exploring” their candidacies. I have always equated “exploratory candidacies” with “experimenting with drugs.” It […]
Everytime there is one of these big busts of some corporate titan for malfeasance, there is something that I never get tired of seeing. It seems that when one of these guys gets busted, they claim that they didn’t know anything, that they were victims of some nefarious doings of the underlings. This is something […]
There was an interesting bit in Daniel Scarpinato’s article on Tim Bee, published in this Wednesday’s Star:
After initially sidestepping a question about the Iraq war, Bee said, “I believe that this war has been poorly executed, and there have been many mistakes made along the way, but at the same time, it’s going to be […]
I love looking for fissures among the Republicans as much as the next guy. Heck, I try to encourage such things. Then I go and get a bucket of popcorn and watch the fun. I’m thinking of calling them as home, “Hey, I saw Tim Bee talking smack about you at the bus stop…”
The Yellow […]
Well, the new rumor being circulated is that Tim Bee is so intimidated by the piles of cash that Gabrielle Giffords has raised that he is reconsidering the race and may instead run for County Supervisor.
I don’t buy it. The field has been cleared for him, and all indications are that this will be a […]
Saturday, the Arizona Daily Star ran a short interview with Senate President Tim Bee. Interestingly, Bee names his cooperation with Senate Democrats as a major accomplishment. Also, he also says that he responded “to the reality that Democrats had gained numbers in both chambers” and the reality that there is a Democratic governor.
Good to see […]
I’ve received a couple of e-mails from folks asking me when Tim Bee was going to resign. It didn’t occur to me that such a thing would be imminent, but he may need to sooner rather than later.
There are two things Bee has to do before he tries to take down Gabrielle Giffords in the next election. […]
Tim Bee suggested last week that he may end the Senate session with a recess rather than Sine Die. The purpose of this would be to avoid violating a court order in the seemingly endless Flores case. Yep, far better to pull a parliamentary manuever than actually deal with the issue.
So far, there isn’t any […]
Little question for you, I know that the Senate immigration compromise is probably dead, although all sorts of things can happen. We know where most of our federal officials are on it, except maybe Jon Kyl (for it before he was against it?). What about our potential federal officials. I’m thinking of Tim Bee. His […]
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 […]
I was suprised enough this weekend when I heard that Jim Weiers was going to attempt to present his own budget apart from his Senate counterpart and fellow Republican Tim Bee, but I was even more suprised when I heard rumblings that some Democrats were going to go along.
Well, it seems to have happened. Today, […]
