Today I learned that the Arizona legislature is throwing a party for hackers.
Senate Bill 1456: Keeping what’s important in sight
When it comes to our children and their education, it’s important to keep these things top of mind:
Babysitters are paid more than what Arizona spends on students
That title is not a typo. In fact, we think it’s pretty embarrassing.
Fairness principle undergirds broad coalition behind SB1305
I recently read a piece from a brave soldier about Turo and other rental car providers. I salute Damon Crutcher and his ability to earn extra money while serving our country. But I need to set the record straight on a few things.
