Utilities win passage of anti-competition bill
Even if the utilities are slow to adopt clean energy, consumers have new options to decarbonize the grid and decrease their dependence on the monopolies. The most recent data vividly paints this picture.
AZ taxpayers can breathe a sigh of relief
This would be a win for Arizona taxpayers and small businesses under any circumstance, never mind during this period of unprecedented inflation. This decision provides relief for every Arizonan who finds themselves spending more than ever before to fill up their cars, put food on the table, and shelter and clothe their families – and yes, that’s every Arizonan.
It’s time to review utility siting committee
Much has changed in Arizona’s energy landscape since 1971, raising questions about whether the siting statutes should similarly evolve.
Policymakers haven’t gotten the message
There is no left or right energy. It is all just energy. Cheap is better than expensive, in-state is better than out, abundant is better than scarce, and clean is better than dirty. For Arizonans, solar paired with storage checks all of those boxes. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just making stuff up.
Reject left’s racial quotas with HCR2001
There is no doubt that Arizona students will benefit if state lawmakers stop public schools from teaching kids to treat each other differently based upon race. But ultimately, actions speak louder than words, and our public educational institutions must lead by example and never reduce our teachers, students, or staff to merely the color of their skin. HCR2001 will ensure they never do.
Fix inflation, don’t pass big spending bills
As an Arizona business owner, I have a responsibility to my employees and to our customers to step up and say something. Even as the White House mistakenly continues to push the same tax and spend agenda, it is my hope that our Senators Krysten Sinema and Mark Kelly reject these massive new spending proposals and listen to their constituents instead.
Every month is 2nd chance month at Televerde Foundation
Second Chance Month is the perfect time to break the stigma around people with a criminal record. But to do that, we must first accept that people cannot be defined solely by their worst decision. Because a crime is something a person committed, not who they are.
Mental health key to successful re-entry
I am optimistic that we can work together with community partners to raise the standard of mental health care and better support inmates when they are discharged. I also believe we can break the cycle of recidivism and stop treating mental illness as a crime.
Sinema, Kelly can maintain our competitive edge
Opposing the PRO Act and any of its misguided policies, whether in the PRO Act itself, or any provisions that may be covertly slipped into other, unrelated legislation, will be key to maintaining our momentum.
Heterodoxy on campus— the role of universities
What is the purpose of the university? Until recently, this question was uncontroversial. Young men and women went to college for a practical reason: to become educated to engage in a profession or a kind of work that requires a higher, specialized education.
Our Passover story and theirs: From Egypt to Arizona
When I am at my Passover Seder this year, I will be proud to be American and to live in the state of Arizona, and I will be proud that we celebrate not only our unity but our diversity. We should welcome refugees of all races and religions. This is what makes America a project with fighting for when viewed in light of the Passover story.
New funding system is fair for all students
Some have said stakeholders have not had sufficient time to weigh in. Yet elected officials and education advocates are all clear on the faults of the current system. Generations of students pass through this system while we have waited for a change.
