Poll Says EPA, Not Congress Should Determine Air Standards
A new poll shows that 75% of voters believe that the US Environmental Protection Agency should determine air pollution standards, not Congress.
Eighty-eight percent of Democrats, 85% of Independents and 58 % of Republicans oppose Congress stopping the EPA from setting new limits to control air pollution from coal plants.
The clean energy advocay group Fresh Energy says pollutants from Arizona’s coal-fired power plants are triggering more asthma attacks and hospital visits, and in some cases premature death for people with respiratory disease.
The group says that when the Clean Air Act was last updated 21 years ago, the US House voted for it 401 to 21. The Senate approved it 89 to 10.
More information on the poll can be found at fresh-energy.org.

ADOT Working to Prevent Wrong-Way Driving
The National Highway Traffic Safety Commission says that 23 people died in wrong-way Arizona crashes in 2009, the latest year with available data. These were accidents in which a driver entered a road against traffic or drove on the wrong side of the road.
The Arizona Republic reports that the state Transportation Department is testing new technologies and road markers to combat the problem.
Most of the time the driver realizes the error quickly and disappears before patrol officers arrive, but when accidents occur they tend to be more severe.
The NHTSA says that drunk drivers are at fault in three fourths of all wrong way crashes. The agency also says that wrong way drivers have more traffic violations, felony convictions and other accidents than the average motorist.

Arizona Schools Now Receive Letter Grades
The Arizona Department of Education is now rating schools with a letter grade. The grades were released yesterday (Wednesday) and they are the result of a new method used to measure success.
Parents may be surprised that some schools that were rated “excelling” in the label system now have a grade of “B” or “C.” The Arizona Republic reports that the new formula puts more weight on how much students improve. With the new letter grades, schools no longer get better ratings for the percentage of students who exceed on the AIMS exam, only for their passing rate over a period of three to five years.
The only local school to receive an above average grade was Destiny School, which received a “B.”
In Globe, Copper Rim School received a “C” grade, an average level of performance. Both Globe High School and High Desert Middle School received a “D,” below average.
Miami Junior High School and Charles Bejarano Elementary School got “C’s.” Miami High School received a “D.”
San Carlos Junior High School and Rice Elementary School received “D’s.”

Most Elderly Arizonans Rely on Social Security
An AARP report says that most Arizona seniors rely heavily on Social Security for their income. The study found that Social Security makes up at least half the family income for 47% of those over 65 and 90% of income for nearly 20%.
AARP Arizona director David Mitchell says this generation of retirees is very dependent on Social Security because many are from an era in which the wife relied on the husband’s income. And many companies that once offered pensions have either canceled them or gome bankrupt.

Peoria Shuts Off Red Light Cameras
Peoria is the latest Arizona city to drop photo enforcement traffic cameras. Intersections such as 83rd Avenue and Thunderbird saw large increases in accidents.
The blog War on Driving reports that Peoria officials claim that overall there was a 29% increase in accidents during the three years of the program. But increases of 300 to 500% were recorded initially.
Redflex Traffic Systems lost their contract with Tempe a few months ago over a legal dispute. Redflex was not only suing Tempe for a larger percentage of ticket fines, they and city officials were also the target of a RICO lawsuit related to the red light cameras.
An initiative to put Redflex speed and red light cameras to a vote is currently circulating in Paradise Valley.
Photo enforcement has also been discontinued in Houston and Los Angeles.

ADEQ Settles Gila County Veterinary Clinic Violations
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office have announced that Star Valley Veterinary Clinic in Gila County has agreed to a $65,000 settlement for biohazardous waste violations.
The clinic will pay a $5,000 penalty and conduct a $60,000 Supplemental Environmental Project. Veterinarian services will be used to treat animals for the Central Arizona Humane Society. In addition, information will be provided about the proper management and disposal of biohazardous medical waste in the animal care industry.
An inspection by ADEQ’s Solid Waste Inspection and Compliance Unit in 2009 determined that the clinic disposed of untreated biohazardous medical waste syringes contaminated with blood in regular solid waste containers that were dumped in the Gila County landfill between 1999 and 2009.
ADEQ Director Henry Darwin says these are serious violations, but this is also a creative settlement that will allow many abandoned pets and other animals to receive medical treatment while at the same time educating animal owners about the proper disposal of this medical waste.

Report Says Putting Kids in Jail Doesn't Work
A new report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation says that putting kids behind bars doesn’t keep them from committing crimes later on. The report says decades of research along with new data shows that incarceration doesn’t provide public safety benefits, wastes taxpayers’ money, and exposes young people to violence and abuse. It says that the “crimes” in most juvenile cases are minor. Most juveniles are either charged with nonviolent offenses or are there primarily for acts of defiance to adults.
Public News Service reports that several states are already moving away from relying on juvenile incarceration, mainly because of budget problems or scandals over abuse in institutions. More than 50 facilities have been shut down nationwide since 2007.
Last year Arizona Governor Jan Brewer proposed shutting down the State Department of Juvenile Corrections and transferring those resonsibilities to counties. The child welfare and juvenile justice director of the Children’s Action Alliance says locking up fewer kids is a good idea, but the governor’s plan would have simply cut the budget without supporting community-based programs that provide better results at a fraction of the cost. Beth Rosenburg says juvenile jails especially don’t work for children with mental health problems, who make up more than a third of the kids in the Arizona system.
