Local opinion: The battery revolution that could make Tucson America's clean energy capital

Local opinion: The battery revolution that could make Tucson America's clean energy capital

  • Howard Weiss Special to the Arizona Daily Star

The question isn't whether Tucson can lead America's clean energy future. The question is whether we have the vision to recognize the moment we're in.

    Terry Bracy: If not Trump, then ... the perils of presidential succession

    • Terry Bracy Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    The issue of Presidential succession has been kicked around since the Founders gave this subject insufficient thought at the Constitutional Convention of 1787.

    Local opinion: The 'Tucson 4' should be 'not guilty' of trespass

    Local opinion: The 'Tucson 4' should be 'not guilty' of trespass

    • Cara Bissell Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    This trial is about more than four defendants. It’s about where Tucson draws the line between peaceful protest and criminal conduct in public-facing spaces.

    Local opinion: An aging population calls for investments in direct care workers

    • Elizabeth Cozzi and Mike Hofer Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    Wellpoint is helping scale training, reduce financial barriers to entry, and connect more individuals to caregiving careers. This approach works because it strengthens the entire workforce pipeline.

      Writers on the Range: Forests, workers deserve better than Trump plan

      • Tracy Stone-Manning Writers on the Range

      Today’s Forest Service plan aims to close regional offices and shutter dozens of the agency’s research centers, as we face what some say will be a horrific wildfire season.

                Letter: Tim Stella’s piece on Gallego in today’s edition

                  Hard to miss the irony: the candidate being scolded is winning precisely because he refuses to audition for the party’s ideological talent show. No purity tests, no slogan compliance, no guilt-by-association theatrics with Eric Swalwell. Just a message that lands with working-class voters th…

                    Gary Swing raises important concerns about ballot access and electoral fairness, but his proposals, however thoughtful, won't be adopted in time to affect 2026 elections.

                    Letter: AZ bill seeks protection for unvaccinated

                      Are you kidding me!? HB2248 is going to protect people who refuse to get vaccinated from being denied services or employment. Unless there is a valid medical exemption (not political) these people should be fined and do possible jail time for endangering the health of themselves and the peop…

                      Local opinion: A dismissive editorial peers through rose-colored glasses

                        The Herald has missed its mark in offering us reassurance of the court’s stability and the strength of democracy. And when it values confidence over honest scrutiny, its words ring hollow.

                          Arizona Daily Star editorial: Julia Benitez, 'la abuela,' must be released

                          Arizona Daily Star border reporter Emily Bregel reported last Sunday that our government is in the business of jailing confused grandmothers with no criminal history.
