Local opinion: Arizona's ballot access laws need to be reformed

Local opinion: Arizona's ballot access laws need to be reformed

  • Gary Swing Special to the Arizona Daily Star

Ballot access reform in conjunction with sincere, inclusive, multiple choice voting methods would give everyone meaningful, effective choices.

Local opinion: Balanced, in-depth news — boring! Media 'stink bombs' — fun

  • Gloria McMillan Special to the Arizona Daily Star

What’s not to like here for a highly placed media stink bomber and the advisers who actually create the stink bombs that deceptively look so childish and random?

Local opinion: Tucker Carlson’s Myth About Chabad

  • Yehuda Ceitlin Special to the Arizona Daily Star

The real danger of Carlson’s myth is not limited to people believing strange things or acting on them. It is the mindset that such thinking creates, where nothing is guided by principle, and everything is reduced to power.

Local opinion: The ideological foundations of Trumpism

Local opinion: The ideological foundations of Trumpism

  • Ron Rude Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    Michael A. Chihak: Athletics rakes it in, while academics must ‘bear up’

    • Michael A. Chihak Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    Donors to athletics indeed fuel wonder. The wonder: Why give to sports over academics? A basketball championship over world-class research, perhaps even a Nobel Prize?

                  Local opinion: Data centers must use solar power

                    As data center demand accelerates, solar plus storage systems offer a path to sustainable, water efficient digital infrastructure. Both the Pima County Board of Supervisors and the city of Marana must demand nothing less.

                      Local opinion: Let them eat $2 million

                        Isn’t it a much better plan to view the city as a real partner and not a punching bag? Wouldn’t it be a better idea to make a significantly larger investment into the City’s plan to prepare for and mitigate the risks of climate catastrophe?
