Even the liberal Arizona Republic editorial board agreed that the investigation of former County Schools Superintendent, urged by the County Supervisors and initiated by Attorney General Terry Goddard, was groundless. In a stunning defeat for the Supervisors, who hounded Dowling with lawsuits the last [...]
This should come as no surprise and I’m willing to bet it’s fueling many a behind-the-scenes discussion on the US Senate race here in Arizona.

We’d heard so much great publicity about the new affordability of solar power we got a solar installer to give us an estimate during August this year. Arizona’s sunshine seemed just too abundant to let go to waste. Our house is roughly 3,000 sq feet, including a small, unfinished basement, [...]
