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.”

Pinal Mountain Fires Allowed to Burn
Tonto National Forest officials say the current monsoon humidity makes fast spreading of wildfires less likely. Therefore, they are able to allow lightning-caused fires to play their natural role in forest ecosystems.
You can expect to see light to moderate smoke throughout the day, with very little smoke impact to the Globe-Miami area.
Globe Ranger District is currently monitoring two lightning caused wildfires in the Pinal Mountain range.
For more information call the Globe Ranger District at 402-6200.

Two Charged in Wallow Fire
Two Arizona men are facing federal charges for causing the Wallow Fire. The fire burned more than 530,000 acres in Arizona and part of western New Mexico. 26 year old Caleb Malboeuf of Benson and 24 year old David Malboeuf of Tucson will make an initial appearance in federal court in Flagstaff on September 19.
The Wallow Fire destroyed 32 residential structures, four commercial structures and 36 outbuildings. It cost more than $79 million to fight.
An investigation indicates that the fire started when an unattended and unextinguished campfire in the Bear Wallow area spread in high winds after the two cousins left to go on a hike.
Both men were charged with five counts related to causing the fire. A conviction for each of the offenses carries a maximum penalty of six months in prison, a $5,000 fine or both.
