County Supervisors Oppose SB1411
County Supervisors across the state are expresing alarm over proposed legislation that weakens their authority over county budgets.
A Gila County press release says that Senate Bill 1411 strips boards of supervisors of their ability to oversee the budgets of county elected officials including sheriff’s, attorneys, treasurers, recorders and clerks of the court. The bill would replace it with limited authority to “approve and appropriate” those budgets.
The bill also gives elected officers in large counties new authority to enter into contracts, make purchases, and establish salary and personnel policies for their offices. These functions are currently managed by board policies across all county departments to maximize efficiency and reduce duplication.
The Gila County Board of Supervisors urges state lawmakers to allow county elected officials to work together to resolve their differences rather than changing state law that would lead to further conflict and reduce transparency.
Senate Bill 1411 was passed by the Senate Government Reform Committee on February 16 and will next be considered by a vote of the full senate.

AZ Senate Committe Votes to Kill Medicaid
An Arizona Senate Committee has voted to eliminate the state’s Medicaid program. The bill would replace it with a much smaller system for only a fraction of low income people now served.
The Senate Appropriations Committee voted 8 to 5 to drop the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. Supporters say it is financially unsustainable.
The program currently serves about 1.3 million people, or about 1 in 5 Arizonans. A proposed replacement would serve less than 10% of that.
KOLD reports that dropping Medicaid would cost the state about $7.5 billion in federal funding.
Opponants say the funding loss would devastate the health care system and close hospitals, especially in rural areas.

Photo Enforcement Ban in Legislative Committee
A bill to ban photo enforcement cameras is making its way through a legislative committee. The cameras have been controversial ever since Arizona became the first state to put them on its freeways. Many of the cameras were vandalized.
Last year Gov. Brewer did not renew a contract with Redflex, the company that ran the network of cameras along several Valley freeways. The state program was scrapped but several cities still use the cameras. Redflex is also the company that provides cameras for the City of Globe.
Opponents of the bill and supporters of photo enforcement cameras say the cameras reduce the number of crashes and fatalities.
Supporters of the bill who oppose the use of the cameras say the cameras are really only about money, and they even increase accidents.
AZfamily.com reports that the bill still has a long way to go before becoming law. But lawmakers say they do have enough votes to move the bill along to the next step.

Magazine and Parks Form Partnership
Arizona Highways magazine and Arizona State Parks—both state-owned institutions—have formed a partnership to survice funding cuts.
Throughout the next year, for every $24 subscription to Arizona Highways, $5 will go to the State Parks Foundation. When you subscribe you can choose which park your $5 will support.
An important benefit of this program is that the funds cannot be cut or redirected by the state Legislature. The $5 contributions go directly to the Parks Foundation—a separate non-profit organization.

Research Suggests Higher Stroke Risk from Diet Soda
New research has raised health concerns about diet soda. KGUN9 reports that findings from a federally funded study in New York suggest that people who drink diet soda every day have higher risks for stroke and heart attack than people who drink no soda at all.
Doctors don’t know why diet soda may be risky. Maybe people who drink lots of soda also fail to exercise, weigh more or have other risk factors like high blood pressure. But the researchers took these factors into consideration and the trend remained.
The study was discussed Wednesday at an American Stroke Association conference in Los Angeles.

Lawmakers Consider Head Injury Bill
Arizona legislators are considering a bill to protect student athletes from head injuries during games. The bill would require all schools to pull a player from a game immediately if a head injury is suspected.

Studies show that if players return to the game too quickly, another concussion could cause more problems. It can even be deadly.
The Arizona Sports Concussion Network says 40% of players receiving a concussion return to the game too soon.

Bill Would Reduce Use of Interlock
Device for First-Time DUI Offenders
The Arizona Senate is considering a bill to reduce the amount of time that a first time DUI offender will have to have an ignition interlock device.
An ignition interlock device is a breath analyzer that is wired to a car’s ignition. The driver has to blow into the device before the car can be started. If it shows bood-alcohol content above .08, the car won’t start.
Since 2007, a person convicted of DUI has had to have an interlock device for a minimum of one year. A bill sponsored by Sen. Linda Gray would drop that to six months for first time offenders who complete an alcohol or drug education or treatment program.
AZFamily.com reports that Mothers Against Driving Drunk opposes the bill. They say six months is not enough time for offenders to change their behavior.

The Income Survey and the May 17 Election
Residents of the two sanitary districts between Globe and Miami have been asking about the Median Household Income Survey and the election that will be held in May.
Cobre Valley Sanitary District President Mary Anne Moreno says the two separate issues both have to do with the area getting a wastewater collection system. The income survey is necessary to get as much as possible of the system to be paid for with federal grants. The lower the average household income, the larger the grant may be. All information gathered in the survey is confidential.
In May voters will decide whether or not to approve the merger of the Cobre Valley Sanitary District and Pinal Sanitary District. Moreno says it’s hard to get a quorum of both boards of directors at every meeting and to have to always work with intergovernmental agreements. A merger would also simplify the process of seeking funding and writing contracts with engineering firms.
The election on May 17 would create a single sanitary district with one board of directors. The new district would be called Tri City Regional Sanitary District. It would cover the same area that Tri City Fire Department and the old Central Heights Fire District covered when they merged a few years ago.
The next public meeting of the two sanitary district boards is Thursday, February 10 at 5:pm at the Cobre Valley Country Club.

ABC15 Reports on Globe Crosswalk
ABC15 in Phoenix did a report this week about the crosswalk near Globe High School.
Two students have been struck by cars recently while trying to cross Highway 60.
Cars frequently fail to stop when people are in the crosswalk. Reporter Jay Reynolds saw several close calls himself and you can see a couple of them in his video report.
The Arizona Department of Transportation is responsible for the roadway. They told Reynolds that they didn’t know there was a problem, but they are willing to work with local government to fix it.
Globe High School Principal Cindy Parravano is afraid it’s only a matter of time before something disastrous happens. She says she will probably write a letter soon to the Department asking them to take some action.

Punxutawney Phil Predicts Early Spring
Punxutawney Phil emerged just after dawn today to predict an early spring when he did not see his shadow. This is only the 16th time since 1887 that Phil has not seen his shadow.
The annual celebration is based on a German superstition that says if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on February 2—-the Christian holiday of Candlemas—-winter will last another six weeks.
Actually Phil's prognostication is decided in advance by 14 members of the Groundhog Club’s Inner Circle.
The South’s version of Pennsylvania’s groundhog—General Beauregard Lee—didn’t see his shadow either. That celebration takes place in Lilburn, Georgia.
