      • Adrian Keller Special to the Arizona Daily Star

      Customers have every right to ask: if an independent expert analysis says we can keep reliability while charging significantly less, why are families being asked to shoulder such a steep increase?

            Letter: Evidence

              Letter: TEP Investors Have It Both Ways!

                TEP is a for-profit monopoly (guaranteed no competition). In return for this very low risk investment with guaranteed customers, TEP's investors should receive a low return on equity (profit) closer to the interest paid on Federal Bonds (about 4%). That's how the market is supposed to work.

                    Letter: Oppose SB 1068 which would force campuses to allow guns

                      I want to urge Arizona lawmakers to oppose SB 1068, a bill that would force Arizona colleges and universities to allow anyone with a concealed carry permit to have a gun on campus.
