Steve Farley is hoping that attention to detail will earn him the governor’s seat. But will wonkiness actually win the day for Arizona’s highest statewide office?

A Republican-dominated legislative committee decided Wednesday that voters don't need to be told that if they approve a business-backed tax-limiting measure the state could be foregoing more than $5.2 billion a year in revenues.

After 16 years as an Arizona state representative, then senator, Senate President Steve Yarbrough is calling it quits.

Gov. Doug Ducey has faced difficult legislative sessions before. But this session was on another level.

Another session is in the books, but not without a fuss - or two.

The Arizona Educators United and Red for Ed movement drew an estimated 150,000 teachers, students and public school staff to the Capitol to demand more for education.

I’m happy to see the conversation finally turning to revenue. I hope that you will join me to keep the pressure on your representatives to do what needs to be done.

Putting aside the adversarial relationship between the Governor’s Office and leaders of the teacher pay movement, both Ducey and Arizona teachers have benefitted from the “Red for Ed” momentum that swept through Arizona this legislative session.

After marathon sessions, Arizona lawmakers passed a $10.4-billion spending plan early May 3 that fully funds Gov. Doug Ducey’s promise to boost teacher pay this fall and in the following two school years.

The longest statewide teacher strike is going to drag into another day Thursday, at least for some of those who have been out of work now since last Thursday.
