1,000s of patients depend on state for life itself
During the past 34 years, nearly 10,000 infants, children and teens have received care necessary to sustain their lives. Hacienda HealthCare touches the lives of more than 1,200 developmentally disabled Arizona residents and their families. A very high percentage of our patients are medically fragile and require constant care by doctors, nurses, therapists and aides.
Why no bridge on 35th Avenue?
The article on the new bridge near Isaac Elementary School ("A call to the arts: Phoenix program unites engineers with artists," Sept. 11 issue of the Arizona Capitol Times) gives the impression to anyone who hasn't been by that west side school that all the students have a nice bridge to safely cross over a busy city street.
Sinema v. Kyl
I recall that in a guest column ("Kyl Overlooks AZ Benefits of Stimulus," Aug. 21 edition of the Arizona Capitol Times), State Rep. Kyrsten Sinema called Sen. Jon Kyl to task for daring to criticize President Obama's stimulus bill as ineffective. She claimed that he was out of touch and that "here in Arizona, we have proof that it is working."
Women on subs? What were they thinking?
Recent news articles suggest that senior Navy officials are studying the idea of allowing women to serve on submarines. Have we really sunk this low in our clamor to be politically correct?
Former opponent calls Murphy a Clean Elections hypocrite

Kingman’s version of the Springerville Madonna
Thank you for the article on the Springerville Madonna of the Trail statue, located along the National Old Trails Highway, a precursor of Historic Route 66 (Harry Truman and the Springerville Madonna, Sept. 4, "Times Past"). However, the people of Kingman have a different view of the decision regarding where the statue was to be located in Arizona.
Digging the hole deeper: Too many tax cuts hurting Arizona
As the Legislature debates proposals to raise taxes and proposals to cut taxes, how many Arizonans realize state taxes have been cut over and over again during the past two decades to the point that now our the state budget loses $1.5 billion a year?
‘Hum Dinger’ is no Willcox historical treasure
I am writing to complain about the article/photograph of the motorized railcar shown in the "Times Past" column in the Feb. 13, 2009, issue of the Arizona Capitol Times. The article states the "Hum Dinger" was used by the Mascot and Western Railroad that ran between Willcox and Dos Cabezas, Ariz., in the 1920s. The photograph included with the article is incorrect.
Redistricting involves competitive districts and Voting Rights Act
Arizona's legislative districts map received its final OK from the Arizona Supreme Court in May 2009 - eight years after the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission started the mapping process.
