To save water shower with a friend.
As a 20 year veteran of the newspaper business, I read some articles with skepticism. When fact checking information, it’s also critical to weigh the source of information. Dennis Fischer’s March 3, letter regarding Arizona’s water shortage caught my eye. He is correct saying there are “long…
So Arizona’s Republican “Freedom Caucus” legislators don’t want ranked choice voting and have proposed bills to block it. Their claims against it are ludicrous. They claim it “disenfranchises voters.” In fact, it would allow more independent voters easy access to primaries where many electio…
This opinion piece is spot on! Public schools have always been committed to the “general welfare” of all students by promoting opportunity and equality for everyone. Mr. Crist is correct when he points out that there is an ongoing effort to defund public schools under the guise of “school ch…
I like Lloyd as a coach but the team played to the level of competition, won some games against good opponents but lost to some teams they shouldn't have. I also think having a rotation of 7 players didn't help. If you had starters injured or not playing well there weren't alternatives becau…
Arizona legislators are considering passing the “Ashley Dunn Act,” which will make it a felony to sell a drug that results in the death of another person. This act comes after Arizona has seen a rise in deaths and overdoses related to drugs laced with powerful synthetic drugs like Fentanyl (1).

Critics can’t agree on what “woke” means. Going back a bit into our history is the idea of Black people being “woke” from the oppression of the white man and what we, as a society, can do about it. But the term has been appropriated for a variety of left-wing causes.
Before I had kids, I can remember thinking, as I watched a mom struggling with her toddler in the grocery store: I won’t ever find myself in such a predicament. I’ve read a ton about effective parenting strategies. I will know what to do. It’s simple.

So the UofA wants a 3% increase in tuition. Back in Reagan's time, it became popular to run everything on a "buisness" model including education. Well that model has meant making universities more attractive to the well off class with ever more ritzy buildings and dorms requiring arguably un…
Republicans have given President Biden a proposal to begin negotiations. Sorta. At first said they would agree to discussions if the president agreed to “each and every one of their requests.” What were they? They’d let him know if he decided to do it. What? Agree to what?
I would like to challenge people who believe early abortion is murder and should be illegal to do an introspective exercise. Think back to a time when you were somehow involved in an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy situation. Maybe it was you, or your lover, a close friend, or sister. Remem…
