Today I have written to my senator and representatives as well as the leaders of our legislature to insist they deliver the budget to Governor Brewer. I hope she returns it to them with specific guides to improvement, because their time-wasting efforts have fallen far short of what Arizona needs.
Arizona has the capacity to be a high ranking state in quality-of-life issues. Arizona voters know it takes investment--yes taxes--to improve education, health care, services for homeless and mentally ill, and security from crime and terrorism. Our legislature seems to think the way to a better Arizona is to pinch pennies and cut services.
Governor Brewer is an excellent businesswoman and administrator. Our legislature should take advantage of her skills and experience.
