Arizonans are going to get a chance to decide whether they want to require utilities in the state to produce more of their power from renewable sources.

The fight over whether Arizonans get to vote on a renewable energy measure has turned into the clash of the financial titans.

Arizona voters will be inundated with nearly 500 arguments about why they should support or oppose the seven different measures that will be on the November ballot.

The parent company of the state's largest electric utility filed suit Thursday in a bid to block voters from deciding if they want to impose new renewable energy mandates on power companies.

The state's largest electric utility already has set aside close to $11 million to make elections this year come out the way it wants.

With a renewable energy initiative ready to be filed next week, a state utility regulator is filing his own proposal, one that electric companies are likely to find more attractive.

The health care arm of the Service Employees International Union wants to ask Arizona voters to cap “exorbitant” salaries for executives at area hospitals.

After three months of fighting with the Washington DC-based Checks and Balances Project over records of an Arizona Corporation Commission member’s text messages, emails and call logs, a fellow commissioner was fed up. "When does too much become too much?” Commissioner Bob Burns wrote in an email to Jodi Jerich, executive director of the Corporation Commission.

Enrollment for the population that benefits from the contentious passage of Medicaid expansion is far below projections, but that doesn’t sound alarms for the Governor’s Office, the agency that administers the program or hospitals.

Limits on how the AHCCCS director would be able to use the unprecedented power provided under Gov. Jan Brewer’s Medicaid expansion plan have eased some worries, but not all.
