Recent actions by elected Arizona legislators appear to indicate that they are more interested in helping elite businessmen and state executives than the average Arizona citizen.
They are very willing to spend taxpayer money on their priorities and deprive legitimate state needs. A firefighter in Yarnell lost his life while protecting Arizona citizens. His family will now have no husband and father and no income.
However, the elected officials have denied his family appropriate compensation. It may be legal but it is morally offensive.

Recent actions by elected Arizona legislators appear to indicate that they are more interested in helping elite businessmen and state executives than the average Arizona citizen.
They are very willing to spend taxpayer money on their priorities and deprive legitimate state needs. A firefighter in Yarnell lost his life while protecting Arizona citizens. His family will now have no husband and father and no income.
However, the elected officials have denied his family appropriate compensation. It may be legal but it is morally offensive.
Glendale officials gave businessmen $225 million to help businessmen buy a hockey team, while reducing other essential town services.
Similarly the state pension investment executives got bonuses while the assets they managed performed poorly; thereby threatening pensions of many Arizona citizens.
There are many more examples. The only way this can be stopped is by term limits for all elected officials.
