Arizona has been struggling in the legal professional sector. Hence the recent decisions to lower the bar (no pun intended) for paralegals to do lawyer work, etc. And I assume, but not certain, this is the motivation for the prosecutor bill.
"For decades, we’ve heard Democratic policymakers extol the virtues of working with Republicans. Through a series of stock terms, e.g. bipartisanship, finding common ground, reaching across the aisle, compromising, they tout their willingness to set aside their political differences with Republicans in order to stop quibbling, quit stalling, work pragmatically, and––the holiest of the holies––Get Things Done.
This all might sound well and good; surely an active government is better than an idle, incapacitated one. But which things, exactly, are getting done? Why is it that the act of making decisions or passing legislation is deemed more important to elected officials than the actual content of those decisions and legislation? And how does an incurious, largely compliant media contribute to the harms of a Democratic party that, in its embrace of Republican ideology under the seeming noble banner of "bipartisanship" continues to move further to the right on key issues?"
This is called double dipping:
"SB1034 would let retired state employees return to work as prosecutors after six months and still get retirement benefits."
There are no novice prosecutors who want to work for the state?
