Arizona State Legislature

I grew up in a family that was very politically active.

Um, my parents, or I guess going back on my gr- mother's side, my grandfather was a member of the Arizona State Legislature [clears throat] before moving to California.

And then my uncle was, uh, lieutenant governor of the state of California, and then became the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare under Richard Nixon.

And so we were steeped in a sort of what might today be called a Rockefeller Republican tradition of rather liberal on social causes and conservative on financial ones.

Attorney General Knudsen and the joining states argued that the training utilized discriminatory racial stereotypes and that the appeals court erred in ruling that an employer can avoid liability if the training occurs only once.

Attorneys general from 19 other states and the Arizona Legislature joined Montana in filing the brief.

The most decorated US cross-country skier in history, Jessie Diggins, is coming to Bozeman to speak at Montana State University.

The four-time Olympic medalist and powerful mental health advocate will take the stage at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse on Thursday, October twenty-ninth at seven PM.

I didn't hear the bill.

And I'm going to give you the bill number to look it up on azleg.gov. And I'll post some pictures of it right here.

But Now, let me preface this before I get into it.

De Los Santos sat on elections committee.

Wrote a bill.

It's HB2907 in 2026.

You can look that up at azleg.gov, but I've taken screenshots of the bill.

But just for the sake of credibility, you can look the entire bill up and read the entire bill at that website.

How did these questions get on the ballot in the first place?

So all of these measures were sent to the voters through the Arizona State Legislature, which is controlled by Republicans, and a lot of these measures are the result of divided government.

So a lot of these proposed changes that voters will now be able to decide on their own are things that either have previously been sent to Governor Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, are just simply things that are not within her set of ideas that she wants to put forward, and it is a popular method to get around her veto pen.

Okay, listeners, get your pens out.

The biggest political story in Arizona may not be what happened a- at runback with these ballots.

It may be what happens to the Arizona Legislature on November the 3rd.

Republicans currently control Arizona House 33 to 27, and the Senate 17 to 13.

Every seat is up.

We will talk about what to expect if Democrats take the AZ Legislature coming up next on the Free iHeartRadio app.

Democrats understand the situation in Arizona perfectly.

They've spent years chipping away at Republican control, and they believe the Arizona Legislature is within striking distance.

So Republicans need to understand something this morning, my friends.

Um- But Arizona didn't.

As a matter of fact, Arizona State Legislature voted this in and passed a bill.

The governor vetoed it.

The governor vetoed federal dollars for these programs.

Regulated gaming provides important consumer protections, including fair play and fair winnings, data security, accountability, and a safer overall experience.

About the Arizona Department of Gaming Established by the Arizona State Legislature in 1995, the Arizona Department of Gaming is the state regulatory agency for tribal gaming, event wagering and fantasy sports contests, racing and pari mutuel-slash-simulcast wagering, and unarmed combat sports.

In addition to its regulatory responsibilities, ADG protects and educates consumers through initiatives including Check Your Bet, which helps Arizonans identify licensed and regulated gaming operators, Responsible Gaming Education and Resources, and Arizona's Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program for individuals who choose to step away from gambling and take back the game.

The department also provides and supports education, prevention, and treatment programs for people and families affected by problem gambling through its Division of Problem Gambling and 24-Hour Confidential Helpline, 1-800-NEXT-STEP.

I believe it's around 20 in total.

You have people like, they're all people who are within the Arizona State Legislature, people in leadership positions like Ben Toma or Teresa Martinez.

It also gave just kind of some high known kind of education freedom advocate type people like Matt Gress, who's been big on Have any of those candidates had anything to say about this money, this PAC? As far as I'm aware, no.

OK, so let's just look at the kind of the situation here, right? Like if you're looking at a complaint filed on behalf of this former teacher who has connections to the Arizona Education Association, the teachers union and a PAC, you know, funded by, you know, this big charter school company, the person who owns it and going to a lot of these pro school choice candidates.
