Cash from outside groups is rivaling - and in some cases exceeding - what candidates for statewide office are spending on their own election campaigns.

The outcome of several key races on next week's ballot could turn on how Arizonans feel about their utility company -- especially if it’s Arizona Public Service.

Claiming he's been defamed, Attorney General Mark Brnovich is suing the backers of the Proposition 127 campaign for telling what he said are lies about him.

Voting “No” on Proposition 127 won’t stop the expansion of renewable energy in Arizona, but it will protect our schools from more mandates that take money away from classrooms where our children are trying to learn. And, that makes Arizona a better place – for kids and for Arizona’s future.

If money is speech, the state's largest electric utility is not going to have the only voice this year in trying to affect who gets elected to the Arizona Corporation Commission.

Early voting has only just begun, but the race for the governor’s office may already be over.

Public health advocates urged voters Tuesday to support a renewable energy mandate on the November ballot even though not one of them could say how much of a difference it actually would make in ground-level air pollution.

It ultimately may not matter if Arizonans vote in November to require utilities to generate more of their electricity from renewable sources.

Democrat Sandra Kennedy said Thursday there would be no need for voters to impose a renewable energy mandate if state utility regulators would do their job.

A key aide to Attorney General Mark Brnovich altered language of the ballot description of Proposition 127 that the state's top elections officer called "eyebrow raising'' and the lawyer for initiative organizers said is designed to help Arizona Public Service convince voters to reject it.
