Caving to pressure from constituents who have been hounding him for a meeting for more than a month, Republican Rep. Bob Thorpe of Flagstaff announced that he is holding a “town hall.”

Of the more than 1,000 bills, resolutions and memorials that have been introduced in the Arizona Legislature thus far in 2017, the majority are already being declared “dead."

Flagstaff voters have been unable to track down their lawmaker, Republican Rep. Bob Thorpe. And they’re getting worried.

Hats off to Rep. Paul Boyer, chair of the House Committee on Education, for his bold move to announce that he will not hear HB 2120 in his committee. Among other things, the bill would have banned the teaching of “social justice,” required the instruction of “accurate” history, and allowed the attorney general to investigate alleged classroom violations.

Republican Rep. Bob Thorpe’s bill to ban K-12 schools and universities from teaching “social justice” is dead for the year, according to the chairman of the committee to which it has been assigned.

Taking aim largely at state universities, Rep. Bob Thorpe is proposing to withhold state aid because they offer lower in-state tuition to “dreamers.”

Saying students are being taught hatred at public expenses, a Flagstaff Republican lawmaker is proposing new limits on what and how schools, colleges and universities can teach.

After a brief scare for the Republican incumbents, Reps. Bob Thorpe and Brenda Barton won re-election in northern Arizona’s Republican-dominated Legislative District 6.

Arizona’s civil asset forfeiture laws are safe from any legislative changes this year.
