America and the world are being driven by the obsession of a pathetic man who believes that power and money matter more than country and democracy.

    • Lee Stanfield Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    TEP is a for-profit monopoly owned by a Canadian corporation with major investors who don't live here, so the millions in profits we send them annually is a massive wealth drain on Tucson.

    Do I wish there would have been better planning, explaining and coalition-building by this administration? Absolutely. But I am resolutely opposed to not considering the long-term safety of this country and civilization.

          After measles outbreak, why are feds keeping Texans in the dark? | Dallas Morning News

            For the second time in two years, Texas is experiencing a significant measles outbreak.

                              There is no secret deal, no special discount, and no “blended” rate that shifts costs onto others. Under Arizona law, utilities cannot invent rates on the side or quietly move customers onto unapproved pricing.
