The Arizona School Financial Transparency Portal is another example of rooting out the competition. ARS 15-747 was written to include requirements that significantly limited competition for something that largely duplicated work that the Arizona Department of Education and Arizona Auditor General were already doing.
Would you consider offering the Wolfpack option to those of us who would like to opine on the bills addressing (1) legislator immunity (from speeding tickets - so gross and I think public opinion could shame them into doing the right thing), and (2) affordable housing (Bob Robb published an excellent “explainer” this morning, pointing out the fallacy of the cities and towns’ claim that they can effectively address this problem by subsidizing small segments and layering on further regulation - while highlighting why relying on the market, subject to reasonable constraints, can be far more effective: https://open.substack.com/pub/robertrobb/p/give-the-market-a-chance-on-housing?r=1pv2jp&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email ).
I wrote to Robb explaining that when the legislature changed the law limiting what local control can require for rental days it basically turned a residential market into commercial, there for the taking. The economics were a no brained for corporate money. I get his sub stack too, and Billy’s. They are both great. I do subscribe!
