Admittedly, Nancy Young Wright’s chances of getting elected depend on whether the Republicans go full on Tea Party in their primary. And by full on Tea Party, I mean whether they nominate Ally Miller. I only know Mike Hellon and Vic Williams by reputation, but I’ve actually met Stuart McDaniel a couple of times. I [...]
A piece from Vic Williams that’s hit mailboxes: Given we aren’t in Boston or Chicago, I don’t know what local “corrupt government” is coming down on Chick-fil-A. Some local bozo harassing whatever minimum wage employee happens to be available is not the government, sorry Vic. By the way, what’s it got to do with Rosemont? [...]
One of the laziest constructions in our political dialog is the assertion that “both sides do it.” Yes, if you want to point out something like “both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are raising millions from Wall Street”, then yes, it makes sense. But something like “both sides use the filibuster” when it’s been used [...]
I recieved the latest newsletter from State Representative and county supervisor candidate Vic Williams. He entitles it “Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee.” Yep, when I think of Muhammad Ali, the first image that comes to mind is Vic Williams. Did you know that just like Ali, Williams is the name he adopted [...]

Rep. Vic Williams has a post up on his blog decrying the “sweeps” of HURF money. This fund is largely funded through gasoline taxes and mostly goes to local governments for transportation needs. The legislature has been “sweeping” this money for years, using it for other programs or to keep the budget in balance while [...]
There has been speculation that former Representative Nancy Young Wright may either run for legislature, or instead try for the Pima County Board of Supervisors. Speculation is over: Board of Supervisors it is. Press release after the jump. She’ll be facing the winner of a Republican primary that features businessman Charlie Bowles, Young Wright’s former [...]

Vic Williams pulled a Baja Arizona version of a full Ginsburg this week: he got the same op-ed published in three places: the Green Valley News, Northwest Explorer and Sonoran Alliance. He is trying a new tack: pretending like the last redistricting, back in 2001, was perfectly well ordered, clean and fair. This is a [...]
Well, a couple of our state lawmakers will reportedly be at the city council meeting today. Yep, Ted Vogt and Vic Williams will be making an appearance. Why? Specifically, I don’t know. I’m absolutely sure it has nothing to do with Vogt’s brother running for city council and Williams’s coveting Ann Day’s seat when she [...]
