Public Meetings About US 60 Superior to Globe
The Arizona Department of Transportation has started a study to identify alternatives for improving US 60 between Superior and Globe. Open houses have been scheduled to gather input from the public. Each public meeting will be from 5:30 until 7:30pm with a project overview presentation at 6:pm.
The Globe meeting will be on Wednesday, June 3 in the Globe High School auditorium. Meetings have also been scheduled for Superior and Gold Canyon.
Bill Would Let Offenders Skip Traffic School
The Arizona Daily Star reports that a provision buried in the package of bills for the 2010 budget would let motorists who receive traffic tickets skip traffic school by simply paying a flat fee. Motorists involved in criminal traffic offenses--like drunk driving—would not be eligible. Neither would those who get into accidents that cause serious injury or death.
Arizona law says most motorists can either plead innocent and go to trial, plead guilty and pay a fine, or pay to go to defensive driving classes. The traffic school option means no points against the motorist’s drivers license and the violation is not reported to insurance companies. The new proposal would allow traffic offenders to just pay for the class and walk away.
The plan cleared its first hurdle last week when the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a series of changes to the criminal code.
Committee Chairman Russell Pearce says there’s no evidence that defensive driving schools actually do any good.

Arizona Gas Prices Rising, But Still Lowest
in the Nation
Gasoline prices across the state and the nation continue to rise, but Arizona still has the lowest prices in the nation. The statewide average is between $2.13 and $2.14 a gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. That’s an increase of more than 12 cents from last week. The national average increased more than six cents to $2.33 a gallon. Globe-Miami prices are around $2.12.
AAA says Arizona motorists are paying $1.47 less per gallon than they were this time last year. In fact, the last time prices were this low around Memorial Day was in 2004.
