Judge Upholds Prison Visitor Fee
A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has upheld the $25 background fee the state charges people visiting inmates in Arizona prisons.
The judge ruled that the fee is not a tax, as claimed by the inmate-advocacy group that filed the suit earlier this year.
The Arizona Republic reports that Middle Ground Prison Reform says it plans to appeal the ruling. They say the fee is unconstitutional because it doesn’t pay for background checks but for prison repairs.

Cuts Will Slow First Class Mail Delivery
The US Postal Service has announced drastic cuts that will slow first class mail delivery next spring. This will eliminate the chance for stamped letters to arrive the next day for the first time in 40 years.
The $3 billion in cuts are part of an effort by the Postal Service to avoid bankruptcy. About half of the nearly 500 mail processing centers could be closed as early as next March. This would lengthen the distance mail travels from post office to procesing center and lower delivery standards that have been in place since 1971.
First class mail currently is supposed to be delivered in one to three days. That will be lengthened to two to three days. About 42% of first class mail is now delivered the next day. After the change next spring, about 51% of all first class mail is expected to arrive in two days, with most of the rest delivered in three days.

AFB Says Thanksgiving Dinner Will Cost 13% More Than Last Year
The Arizona Farm Bureau says that the cost of your Thanksgiving meal will be 13% higher than it was last year.
This year’s turkey dinner with all the trimmings will cost $50.06 for an Arizona family of 10. Without factoring in store coupons or specials, the cost of a 16 pound turkey purchased in Arizona this year is $21.28, or $1.33 a pound. That’s an increase of 28 cents a pound. But this year’s meal is still $2.75 cheaper than it was three years ago when the total was $52.81.
The 2011 Thanksgiving meal cost estimate is the result of the Arizona Farm Bureau’s annual informal survey of the prices of basic food items found on the Thanksgiving dinner table.
This year the Farm Bureau also has an Organic Price Survey on the same food items. An Organic Thanksgiving dinner will cost more than twice the amount of the non-organic purchase of the same items.

Arizonans Spent 7.3% of Income on Fuel in October
Fuel prices remained relatively flat this week. The average Arizona price per gallon dropped 0.6 cents to a little over $3.33. The nationwide average rose 1.3 cents to just under $3.44. The Globe-Miami average price is around $3.35.
While pump prices have gained stability, AAA Arizona says that the average Arizona household spent 7.3% of its income last month on fuel. That’s about $2.98. This is a nearly half percent decrease from the pump price peak in May, but Arizonans are still paying 2% more for gas than they did this time last year.

Voters in Seven Cities Reject Photo Enforcement
Voters in eight cities and three states cast ballots on Tuesday to decide if red light cameras and speed cameras should be used in their communities. Seven of the eight races went against the use of photo ticketing.
TheNewspaper.com reports that Redflex Traffic Systems of Australia contributed at least $108,000 to the campaign for the cameras in Garfield Heights and South Euclid, Ohio. But the unfunded effort to put a stop to the cameras won 55% of the vote.
Local officials in East Cleveland, however, succeeded by using strong-arm tactics to badger voters into supporting cameras. Off duty police officers, in uniform and with their police cruisers parked on the curb, were ordered to go door to door to convince residents to vote to return the cameras. The mayor mailed layoff notices to 36 police officers and 14 firefighters saying the city would have to fire them if it lost photo ticketing revenue. This worked and the city got 54% of the vote, the only victory for the cameras on Tuesday.
Earlier this year, traffic cameras were voted out of Los Angeles, Houston and Albuquerque.
