Sinema hit with ethics complaint. We joined several Arizona organizations in calling on the Senate Ethics committee to investigate Sinema’s possible misuse of official taxpayer funds. Recent reporting has alleged that she required Senate staff to perform a number of personal tasks unrelated to their official job duties.
School spending cap lifted. But no thanks to the 21 Republican legislators who voted to withhold already approved funding from Arizona public schools.

The school, Heart Cry Christian Academy in Queen Creek, apparently accepts taxpayer-funded vouchers, highlighting the problems with Ducey’s universal voucher program, which not only defunds public schools, but leads to taxpayer-funded discrimination. Notably, religiously affiliated schools, where non-discrimination laws are exempt, are the top recipients of voucher dollars.
