For the first time since we began doing them, a leader has refused to sit down for a Session Wrap Q&A interview. Arizona House Speaker Andy Tobin's office refused multiple requests to sit down for an interview, and the only explanation given was that he “wanted more control” over what would be printed.

Barry Aarons' bow tie and signature mustache makes him one of the most recognizable lobbyists in the Capitol. He is also one of the most articulate, which he says is because he spends so much time studying the issues.

If you ask anyone who has worked on an issue with Rep. Lucy Mason, they'll say she is persistent and tenacious and every other synonym that "Roget's Thesaurus" lists to describe those who never give up. The Prescott Republican is in her final term, and her tenure in the Legislature has been one of the wildest.
