New off-highway vehicle law, a step for child safety
Arizona's new OHV law is a crucial step in the right direction. By requiring safety courses, enforcing helmet use, prohibiting alcohol, and holding parents accountable, the state is prioritizing the safety of its children and teens.

Fix critical health care program for the needy
Now that we’ve identified the problems, it is time for Congress to come up with an answer.
