Petition Targets Monster.com
The online job placement company Monster.com is the target of a petition drive. Organizers of the drive are hoping to get the web site and others like it to stop accepting job advertisements that prohibit unemployed people from applying. They say that’s discrimination.
The petition’s author Kelly Wiedemer says this practice negates everything a worker has accomplished over a lifetime, saying that their education and experience has no value.
Public News Service reports that the petition has nearly 90,000 signatures and organizers hope to get 200,000.
New Jersey already has a law banning ads that prohibit jobless workers from applying, and Michigan and New York are considering it. A bill to outlaw the practice has been introduced in Congress.

What Will Arizona Do Next?
AZ Capitol Times 8-25-11:
US Department of Justice:
(via Three Sonorans)
Attorney General Tom Horne filed a federal lawsuit aimed at overturning a provision in the Voting Rights Act requiring Arizona and several other states to get all election changes approved by the U.S. Department of Justice before they can be implemented.
US Department of Justice:
Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement regarding a lawsuit filed today by the State of Arizona challenging the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act of 1965:
“The Voting Rights Act plays a vital role in our society by ensuring that every American has the right to vote and to have that vote counted. The Department of Justice will vigorously defend the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act in this case, as it has done successfully in the past. The provisions challenged in this case, including the preclearance requirement, were reauthorized by Congress in 2006 with overwhelming and bipartisan support. The Justice Department will continue to enforce the Voting Rights Act, including each of the provisions challenged today.”

Arizona's Mentally Ill Suffering From Budget Cuts
After state lawmakers made budget cuts last year, 13,000 seriously mentally ill Arizonans lost most of their health benefits. Now a report from the Arizona Council of Human Service Providers shows that the cuts actually increased costs for taxpayers.
Council president Emily Jenkins says that without regular case management and medication, people with serious mental illnesses are showing up in emergency rooms, hospitals and jails.
Jenkins gave Public News Service an example of one woman who had been stable for years but who became highly unstable when she lost access to her public health provider last year. Taxpayers have spent more than $100,000 from her repeated hospitalizations and involvement with the police. Jenkins says before the budget cuts, the average cost for treating a mentally ill person was $7,000 a year.

Arizona Shows Improvement in Kids' Well Being
The latest Kids Count Data Book from the Annie E. Casey Foundation shows that Arizona has moved up two spots in the state rankings. But the state is still in the bottom half in 9 of the study’s 10 indicators of children’s well-being.
Public News Service reports that one of Arizona's worst indicators is children in families who are hit by foreclosure, twice the national rate. Arizona also did poorly in terms of children living in poverty.
Children's Action Alliance president Dana Naimark says Arizona’s ratings are likely to get worse next year. She says the data just released is really from 2007 through 2009, which was before the major impacts of the recession and the recent budget cuts.

Horne and FBI Warn of Car Sales Scam
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne has joined with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center to issue a warning about a car sales scam. In this scam, criminals list cars for sale online at very low prices. When a buyer shows interest, the supposed seller says the price is low because he needs cash immediately to pay for medical expenses or for some other urgent need.
The buyer is then told that the transaction will be handled by a legtimate online auction site, such as eBay. But the scammers actually create a fake look-alike site and send invoices that appear legitimate. They instruct the buyer to wire payment through a wire service or a bank transfer. The buyer is then left with no vehicle and loses all of the money to the scam artist.

Some Schools Try 'Move On When Ready'
Fourteen Arizona schools are offerring a new program that will allow some students to graduate two years sooner.
Last year the Arizona Legislature approved the “Move On When Ready” initiative. After two years, students can take examinations to prove that they’ve mastered core subjects.
The Arizona Republic reports that students who pass the internationally recognized board exams can graduate as sophomores and move on to community college.
Supporters say that the program will give students who might otherwise drop out an incentive to stay in school and graduate early.

Valley Resident Comments on Globe Photo Radar
On Friday the following comment was posted to the March 30 blog entry Photo Enforcement in Globe Starts April 1:
I live in the valley and travel to Show Low several times a month by way of Globe/Miami. I usually stop in Globe/Miami to have breakfast and/or lunch depending on the time of day. Also trips to Roosevelt lake and the National Monument. Recently I received a photo ticket for allegedly driving 14 miles over the speed limit which is simply not true. I have been driving for more than 50 years and have never had a speeding ticket!
From now on I will simply avoid these two towns and use the route by way of Prescott. I have many friends that also use this route but made it a point to let them ALL know that Globe/Miami has become nothing but a speed trap for outsiders/tourist because the locals know where the cameras are and they are not the ones that will be paying these outrageous fines! All my friends agree and they will no longer take this route and will spread the word. I would have agreed to a $70 or $80 dollars fine to just make it go away, but $210.00 is nothing but highway robbery to say the least. BTW, if they think that they can extort this money from me, they will have to serve me, that is, if they can fine me. A letter in the mail will not due and I have filed it with my junk mail. Miami has become a ghost town and Globe is soon to follow.
