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.

Arizona Poor Students Closing Reading Test Gap with Higher-Income Kids
A recent federal education report shows that Arizona is one of the few states that has narrowed the achievement gap in reading between higher- and lower- income students.
The Nation’s Report Card released last month by the US Education Department says that lower-income students that are eligible for free or reduced cost school lunches improved their reading scores while scores for better-off students remained steady.
But whatever income category or grade the students who took the test were in, Arizona’s reading scores are still among the 10 worst in the country.

New Numbers Show Poverty at New High
The US Census Bureau has released new figures relating to the US poverty rate. The numbers are the result of a new system that takes into account rising medical costs and other expenses. This includes out of pocket medical care, child care and commuting. The figures also take into account non-cash government aid when calculating income, such as food stanps and tax credits.
The results show a record number of Americans living in poverty—16% or 49.1 million.
Americans 65 or older had the largest increases in poverty under the new experimental formula. They nearly doubled to 15.9%, or 1 in 6. This is because rising Medcare premiums, deductibles and expenses for prescriptiion drugs are not considered in the official rate.
And for the first time, the number of Hispanics living in poverty surpassed the number of African Americans, 28.2% to 25.4%.
Economists have long criticized the official poverty rate as inadequate, but they differ widely on better ways to calculate it. This experimental measure is based partly on recommendations made by the National Academy of Sciences.
For more information go to www.census.gov.

More Research Shows Links Between Media Violence and Aggression
Studies are continuing to show that children exposed to television and video game violence tend to show aggressive behavior.
KTAR.com reports that a recent study of more than 200 middle school students showed that even the use of profanity in media can cause them to become more physically aggressive. Brigham Young University researchers found that exposure to foul language had the same effect as exposure to physical violence.
The researchers suggest that open communication with children about this and anything else helps them become healthy and well-adjusted.
