The Arizona Legislature approved a bill stripping Scottsdale voters of their right to decide whether Axon can build the state's largest apartment complex in their city. RIP, Arizona Constitution. azcentral.com/story/opinion/… via azcentral

Gov. Katie Hobbs has signed the bill stripping Scottsdale voters of their right to decide a major rezoning case. I know this, because the beneficiary of her signature, Axon CEO Rick Smith, announced it. A few minutes later, her office confirmed. azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

A New Mexico man's family had to show his birth certificate at an Arizona prison before they'd let him go. And now, Homeland Security claims it was all his fault he was in jail for 9 days. Seriously? azcentral.com/story/opinion/… via azcentral

Arizona's leaders have had all year to fund a shortfall in a program for the developmentally disabled. It's a fundamental failure of leadership that they haven't. azcentral.com/story/opinion/… via azcentral

As we near Day 100 in President Donald Trump’s America, let’s take a moment to detach ourselves from reality and hear from Rep. Andy Biggs. azcentral.com/story/opinion/… via azcentral

The Trump administration is getting a lot wrong. But it's not OK to burn Teslas just because you dislike Elon Musk, and Democrats need to emphatically say so. azcentral.com/story/opinion/… via azcentral

Arizona's governor race is one of just two toss-ups nationwide, according to a new analysis. But Katie Hobbs might be in a lot less trouble if Andy Biggs is her opponent. azcentral.com/story/opinion/… via azcentral
