October 27, 2010 By 8 Comments
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT BY MARICOPA COUNTY SUPERVISOR FULTON BROCK ABOUT LAST NIGHT’S ARREST OF HIS WIFE
PHOENIX, ARIZONA.  OCTOBER 27, 2010.
“My life and that of my family’s was upended last night.  Police officers arrested my wife of twenty-eight years and the mother of our three children.  She was informed that she was being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year old.  Even with this statement I am not sure how to express what such a shocking emotional punch to your heart and family feels like.  I am stunned.  My children are flabbergasted. You think you know someone after 28 years and I need answers as much as police officers do. I want so much to believe these allegations are not true, but if they are, I am appalled and crushed.  I am a religious man.  I ask all to pray for our family and those involved so that justice may best be served.”

Unions, Democrat Activists Up to Dirty Tricks!

October 27, 2010 By 2 Comments

Reports are coming in that Janet Contreras signs are being vandalized as quick as they go up in the Congressional District 4 race.

Could Democrats be in that much trouble that they are now resorting to attacking their Republican opponent’s signs and property?

We see it happening in CD-5 where a Harry Mitchell supporter and Democrat activist was arrested for criminal damage. We’re seeing the same thing happen in Southern Arizona where Raul Grijalva’s people are also doing the same to Ruth McClung’s signs.

Now they’re hard at work in CD-4 destroying and removing Janet Contreras’ signs.

If anyone sees anything suspicious going on please take a photo with your camera phone, call the police, and then contact the respective campaign. We will catch these thugs and make sure everyone knows whose behind it!

Please send your photos to sonoranalliance@gmail.com and we’ll post them here!

We Caught Them! Democrat Activist Charged with Criminal Damage to Schweikert Signs

Tempe Police Report does not Bode Well for Mitchell Campaign Crime Record, Democrat Activist Charged with Criminal Damage to Schweikert Signs

(Scottsdale, AZ) In what has been a very rocky career path for Harry Mitchell and his opponent’s campaign signs, a developing story out of the Tempe Police Department this morning does not bode well for Congressman Mitchell’s record.

We all remember this:

“I did it,” said Harry Mitchell (Richard Ruelas, “Punishing a Statuesque Senator,” Arizona Republic, 2/5/10). The answer was in response to claims that Mitchell had been stealing his political opponent Gary Richardson’s campaign signs in 2000.

There was no question that Congressman Mitchell broke the law then.

Now, a police report out this morning reveals that Mitchell’s campaign appears to be up to their old tricks, yet again.

“On 10/23/10 around 0855 hours, [name withheld] committed criminal damage” says the police report (Tempe Police Department, 10/23/10, 10-163-420). The signs in question are the property of David Schweikert’s campaign. Below are images of the kind of damage that has been occurring.

“We are very disappointed to see this kind of behavior from the other side. Mitchell’s campaign team knows better,” said Oliver Schwab, Schweikert campaign manager.

“Sadly, this behavior has gone on since our primary and anyone who is interested can see this September Press Release, “The Return of the Sign Bandit” where our campaign announced concern,” continued Schwab.

“Vandalism and criminal destruction of another campaign’s property does not leave the feeling that our free speech is safe in our community,” continued Schwab. “The good news is that we caught them.”

Key to economic growth is lower taxes for all, not subsidies to some

October 27, 2010 By 3 Comments

Suppose the state of Arizona gave taxpayer money directly to companies in certain industries as an incentive to locate here, with payments based on how much workers were paid and whether health benefits were offered.

Tax revenues would have to be raised or diverted to pay for this program. Government bureaucracy would be created to make sure businesses comply with the program’s requirements. Consequently, the economy would be partially transformed according to the preferences of government officials.

Now, suppose the state were to offer tax breaks (instead of direct payments) to those same companies based on the same conditions. Government would grow in exactly the same way as with a direct subsidy: more bureaucracy would be needed to make sure the targeted companies comply with the rules for receiving the special tax breaks. Thousands of businesses and regular people not eligible for special treatment likely would see their tax burden get heavier over time.

This almost happened during the 2010 legislative session with House Bill 2250, a measure sold as a jobs bill. It did happen in 2009 with the passage of Senate Bill 1403, a bill designed to attract solar industries to the state with special tax advantages.

With Arizona’s unemployment rate hovering near 10 percent, there will undoubtedly be lots of talk about spurring economic growth in 2011. Be wary. Some plans could lead to more spending and higher taxes, at least for those not in the chosen industries.

Economic stimulus starts with humble government. Low taxes for all businesses mean low taxes on job creation. Reduced regulation frees private resources for job creation. And making government efficient and less costly creates stability, a key ingredient for private sector job creation. Arizona policymakers should seize this opportunity and make economic development through lower taxes for all businesses their goal for 2011.
