In addition to an investigation by the Clean Elections Commission, it seems like Rep Abeyta should be answering questions put to her by the Arizona house ethics committee. My expectations from the GOP majority is low, true. But, I do expect Dem leadership and Dem members of the ethics committee to investigate. Y’all are an ethics committee. It’s in the title. If something sounds unethical y’all are supposed to chat about it and decide whether it meets the criteria necessitating action. Possibly enriching oneself (or partner) with tax dollars through campaign funds is unethical. If folks want to grift tax dollars to buy otherwise unaffordable trinkets, like jet skis, you have to apply for an education voucher or start a charter school like the rest of Arizona.

This is the thing that annoys me the most about politicians. As soon as they get in the club, 95% of them will instinctively cover for the others. It's the one thing that transcends partisanship. (Shoutout to that 5% that calls the press when a colleague does something shady!)

I’ll give credit to the Dems in the state legislature for this though….when Leezah Sun was threatening people and acting a bit weird, the Dems were right there urging action to have her removed. Meanwhile, it took the GOP majority something like 6 weeks to oust Stringer who was, it turned out, a convicted pedophile. 😳 So, toots to the Dems for being better than the GOP. Dear Lord, what a low bar. 🙄

Is Rachel Mitchell going to order the crime lab swab the package for DNA? I mean if you’re calling the cops because you received fake poop, you may as well go full throttle on the literal bs case.

Your water agenda semi fake news is nearly worthless propaganda coming from Kathy Ferriss and the other doom and gloomers.

I have been writing water laws /rules /budget in AZ for over 35 years, and never heard of this Christen person.

His water news is weird, if you going to be authoritative just copy Sharon Megdal stuff, shes the smart one.

Anything Circle of Blue puts out is just trash, climate cult stuff, not worthy of reading.

Plus anything the AMWUA puts out is mostly garbage, also, they are minority water users that want to control growth.

The CAP Water board has many smarter people, the same with SRP but they are in bed with the Cities which colors their view like AMWUA.

You cant move forward with water news if you hire a climate cultist.

Get with it Hank, your a product of your environment, get out of your bias.
