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.
