Accounts vary about what state Treasurer Dean Martin said, or didn't say, when he spoke at the Lincoln Day dinner of the Cobre Valley Republicans. Steve Slaton, who, like Martin, is running for the GOP nomination for governor, said Martin boasted of instructing his treasury staff to not deposit money into the state's accounts. That maneuver allegedly saved the state millions because it wasn't there for then-Gov. Janet Napolitano to spend, Slaton recounted. Martin has reportedly been ill with the flu for two days and not available for comment. But at least three people who were at the Saturday dinner said Martin was talking about ...read the rest of this post

After years of very public disagreement, state Treasurer Dean Martin says he's found common ground with former Gov. Janet Napolitano. Taking a page from her playbook, Martin is sending a bill for the state's uncompensated prison costs to the federal government, care of Napolitano, now U.S. Homeland Security Secretary. The tab, with interest, comes to $1 billion, and that's money the state could use, Martin said at a news conference. Napolitano did the same thing when she was governor, although her invoices went to the U.S. Attorney's Office, since that office oversees the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program. Martin also copied the ...read the rest of this post

Posted by AzBlueMeanie: Ti's the season for Billo the Clown and Faux News to light up its annual "War on Christmas" nonsense. And this year Arizona's Accidental Governor kicks off the festivities. Arizona Capitol Times » Brewer brings Christmas, Hanukkah back to Capitol displays “I believe in calling something what it is, and it is a Christmas tree, just as a menorah is a menorah,” the governor said in a statement on Nov. 24. Those symbols had generic names - holiday tree and candle holder - under former Gov. Janet Napolitano, who wanted to avoid singling out certain religions. Deborah Sheasby, legal counsel for the conservative interest group Center for Arizona Policy, said the governor made a good decision.

Posted by AzBlueMeanie: Arizona has gone from Governor Janet Napolitano and the Republican legislature enacting a ten percent income tax cut in 2006-07 to give back a tax surplus because "it's your money," to a state in economic free fall and financial collapse in 2008-09. As anyone who attended school in Arizona from the 1950s to the 1970s will tell you, Arizona's economy was based upon the "Five C's": Copper, Cattle, Citrus, Cotton and Climate. The reality is, Arizona's post-war economy was based upon one thing: real estate. Arizona's economy is entirely dependent upon home construction fueled by the demand of rapid population growth, doubling in size approximately every twenty years.

It’s been less than 11 month since he was elected to his fifth-consecutive term in office, but Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is already soliciting more funds for another campaign. In a letter Arpaio sent to supporters last week, the sheriff painstakingly lays out the vast left-wing conspiracy working against him - name dropping Rev. Al Sharpton, President Barack Obama, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and ACORN along with a few media outlets - and says he’s in need of financial support to fight these forces. To reiterate the threat Sharpton poses (he’s visited Phoenix twice this year ...read the rest of this post

Posted by AzBlueMeanie: The mad haters of the Tucson Tea Party will be holding a little soirre Saturday to compare new and creative ways of "how to hate Barack Obama even more!" at Tucson Electric Park. So much hate, so little time. (And a desicration of a cathedral of baseball.) The teabaggers will not be drinking tea, however, but will be drinking their usual daily dose of Kool-Aid from Faux News (Judge Andrew Napolitano) and right-wing talk radio (Jim Parisi, J.D. Hayworth, James T. Harris). The first step to recovery from an addiction is to admit that you have a problem. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid.

Everything old is new again … What's the difference between “seriously considering” and “thinking seriously”? That's what the Insider found itself wondering last week as word spread that Republican former Gov. Fife Symington was considering making another run at the state's highest office.

At the time, Symington told The Republic that he was “seriously considering” jumping into the 2006 race against then-Gov. Janet Napolitano. Symington ended up nixing the idea — no ...read the rest of this post

Judge John Keegan says the state Department of Public Safety should not have arrested Arizona GOP Executive Director Brett Mecum from his office at party headquarters last month. Mecum was targeted by authorities after photo-enforcement cameras on Loop 101 caught him driving 109 mph on April 10. Mecum's defense team argued, in part, that his prosecution was selective and politically motivated. The arrest was a partisan hit to embarass a political operative, in other words. DPS is led by Director Roger Vanderpool, an appointee of Democrat and former Gov. Janet Napolitano. Keegan, a justice of the peace at the Arrowhead Court in Surprise, dismissed the ...read the rest of this post
