And to say that homeowners agreed to a contract that omits material facts and binds the homeowner without his having to ever see or read the CC&Rs makes a mockery of the law, and the "sacred" contract. Especially when your neighbors can change it without your consent and go backward to alter the terms of that contact. This session, just look at those 19 HOA bills, many of which attempted to hold the HOA board and managers accountable, that have gotten nowhere. Only one dealing with political and for sales signs has an awkward penalty against liens for six months, if any.

The legislators, prosecutors, private prison corporation lobbyists, special interests and their suppliers refuse to reform outdated and failed mandatory minimum sentencing laws and to reform criminal justice laws. Until that changes Arizona will continue in its downward spiral, as few businesses families with children will want to live in a state that favors mass incarceration of its people over education.
