Quantcast
  • The president of Arizonification

    As President Obama reflects on his trip to Arizona on Jan. 25, he has some soul searching to do. In recent months, the President has displayed a schizophrenic approach to immigration as he attempts to straddle impossible opposites.

  • Grass isn’t always greener, Dr. Gosar

    By changing your environment, it doesn’t always mean your troubles suddenly disappear. In fact, they usually follow.

  • Russell Pearce should go away — for a while

    Don’t get me wrong.  I’m a staunch conservative, and I appreciate much of the work that Russell Pearce did while serving in the Arizona House and Senate.

  • Look at Justice Department, not Sheriff Joe (access required)

    What is wrong with this picture? The U.S. Justice Department, instead of going after criminals who are breaking federal laws goes after a sheriff, Joe Arpaio, who goes after criminals breaking federal and local laws.

  • Pearce recall shows voters want leaders, not rulers

    After the unprecedented recall and defeat of Senate President Russell Pearce, political pundits have had a heyday analyzing the causes of his decisive upset. Immigration policy? Abrasive personality? Campaign blunders? These and many other factors contributed to the Pearce defeat.

  • Pearce has demonstrated fair and balanced leadership during tough times

    As a member of the Senate Republican caucus, I lend my support for Senate President Russell Pearce.

  • Protect clean air, develop clean energy

    By supporting a transition to new, clean energy projects in our state and ensuring that existing coal plants reduce their pollution, we can restore and protect the clean air and scenic views that attract visitors to the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, and other now-polluted parks in the region.

  • Let the ax fall

    There is a myth going around that even if government employees are inefficient or unneeded, we should not terminate them in this economic crisis because it would dampen the economy.

  • Social Security shouldn’t be used as a piggy bank to pay debt

    Dear Arizona Capitol Times:

    It’s outrageous that some in Washington want to cut Social Security to help balance our federal budget. Social Security did not contribute to our financial mess and should not be used as a piggy bank to pay down our debt.

  • Inadequate site review process could spell disaster for Resolution mine

    Your May 31 article on the mine near Superior “Gosar seeks broad support for Resolution Copper land-swap bill” fails to mention the hopelessly inadequate public review process allowed in the proposed legislation.
