  1. Have to remember, AZ is ran by Republicans, and they are the greedy, non caring of what the people of this state want, as long as it lines their/states pockets with money. It is a disgrace to live in AZ these days! They can not even figure out the state budget cause they are all fighting about it! I hope Salazar can keep the rule in.
