Trevor SmithGUEST
And that kind of cemented my journalism career.
Trevor SmithGUEST
It was in Phoenix that I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to work for a county attorney's office in Pinal County as their communications person.
Trevor SmithGUEST
And working for that elected official, and I just began to love this job.
Trevor SmithGUEST
It really was a situation where my skills as a journalist were really appreciated.
Carlos AlfaroGUEST
This is what our democracy should be, where we come together as a community, knowing that we disagree, but staying neighbors at the end of it.
Mike BroomheadHOST
When you and I did, and just as a side note, when we were together at one of the events and it was about immigration- when you had Sheriff Teeple from Pinal County on one end of the spectrum and Congresswoman Ansari on the other end of the spectrum, and they each started off their segment with complimenting the other person.
Mike BroomheadHOST
i thought this is what we need because they didn't agree at all yeah and never did in anything else they said other than to acknowledge the goodness of the other
Carlos AlfaroGUEST
person and it's something that you won't see through your screen it's nothing that you will see on social media all the time it's something that you need to come out for something you need to be engaged in it's part of your civic responsibility whether you're a community leader a politician or even just a citizen that votes every two years i think that that's what we're trying to show with these conversations is that there is a lot of discourse happening.

Howie FischerGUEST
Uh, I'm always wary of hard and fast formulas, um, that, that don't recognize...
Howie FischerGUEST
And curiously enough, you'll love this, uh, in order to get the, the support of rural lawmakers, this applies only to counties of over 500,000, which is basically Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima-
Jim SharpeHOST
Mm-hmm
Howie FischerGUEST
... or d- or the largest districts in other counties over, I think, 7,500 students in the district.
Steven MurrayHOST
I haven't heard from Mojave, La Paz, Yuma, Apache, Navajo, Greenlee, Graham, or Santa Cruz.
Steven MurrayHOST
I do have some contacts in Pima, Pinal, Maricopa, Yavapai.
Steven MurrayHOST
Gee, I don't.
Steven MurrayHOST
And I think that's it.
PatriciaHOST
they going to regulate that area? Yeah,
Mike BroomheadHOST
because if the town of Queen Creek said, this is what we're doing, Pinal County said, we're getting rid of our flock cameras.
PatriciaHOST
I would imagine that they'd probably just get rid of them all together in that area.
PatriciaHOST
Maybe.
Mike BroomheadHOST
But I guess Queen Creek now has its own police department, so they have their own flock cameras.
Mike BroomheadHOST
But if you have those guardrails in place, Pinal County is a very, very red area.
Mike BroomheadHOST
But I would, and I haven't talked to the police chiefs out there in all of Pinal County, but I would guess that the police chiefs out there like the tool, but they would be in favor of massive regulation.
Mike BroomheadHOST
I just had a conversation while we were off with a good friend of mine that's a high ranking, I don't want to say which agency or how high ranking, a very high ranking officer.
Brent DanielsGUEST
And then I had to bump it up to 175 to be the top bid in Maricopa.
Brent DanielsGUEST
In Pinal and Coconino, I mean, these are big, still decent-sized markets.
Brent DanielsGUEST
125.
Steve TrangHOST
I feel like I should get back in the game.
Paul BentzGUEST
They sacrificed parts of that district to make CD1 more competitive.
Paul BentzGUEST
Over time, they basically gave pieces of that to Pinal County, which is growing redder.
Paul BentzGUEST
So, no, I don't see a big change there.
Paul BentzGUEST
CD4 Stanton's district, that one is the one that they say, oh, it's a swing district.
Mike BroomheadHOST
It has been the county, Maricopa County, because it's the valley.
Mike BroomheadHOST
You know, there's some in Pinal County, but Maricopa County especially.
Mike BroomheadHOST
What they've done to infrastructure and manage growth and all of those things has been phenomenal.
Mike BroomheadHOST
How do we maintain that? And part of it when we talk about this, when Danny's talking about data centers, that's the future.
Mike BroomheadHOST
Us and Pima County where Tucson is.
Mike BroomheadHOST
So as big as Pinal County is getting, after dark, after eight, I think it's eight o'clock, if you have a crash, they have to call out the DPS.
Mike BroomheadHOST
So imagine if, go the other way.
Mike BroomheadHOST
Let's say you decide you're going to go to or you're coming back from Vegas and that road that goes through Wickenburg and then it eventually goes through Wickey up and out to the 40th.
