Fascism right wing style.

Augusta Resource, (Rosemont and now Patagonia Silver claims), realize they can intimidate Coronado National Forest into doing anything they like. If they get permitted on Rosemont there will be not stopping them.

Even though Morales has been a contributing member of our community for 20 years So, in 20 years he didn't attempt to become a legal US citizen? It sounds like his own inactivity is what is "ripping" his family apart.

That location was a favorite of my family when I was a kid. I remember that the number 4 combination (taco, tamale, enchilada and bean tostada or soup) cost $1.65 back then in the mid to late '60's. It is still on the menu, although it is now about $15.00.

Alternative headline: Illegal Aliens Contribute to Distruction of Many Facets of American Economy/Families AP:Anywhere in America A frustrated and umemployed father of 3 was said to be angry over his inability to support his family and after an afternoon of drinking went home and ......................

Everybody should have the right to medical care. It should not just be for people with money and/or power. Every other major country in the world provides medical care for it's citizens, but we act as though our health care is best left in the hands of corporations whose only motive is profit. It's not going to work until we realize that health is more important than profit.

Ditto!

No, no, no, no, NO! Illegal aliens are not deported for traffic offenses. They are deported for being illegally in the United States. Traffic offenses and criminal acts only put them on the radar.

Sorry he did not have "sex"with that women,He raped her.What a piece of sh-t

Gee, golly. All these things that Rosemont says they'll do and the tremendous expense of it all reminds me of reading the story The Emperor's New Clothes. All we need now is a little kid standing along the street saying, "If they do all that, they won't make any money." BTW If the information I've read about groundwater recharge is correct, it takes 7 years. I guess the pipeline needs to be completed and the mine needs to start recharging now so they can open in 2018. Stop the mine!!

Do they Dooney and Bourke on clearance?

...and which of the 2 Party choices do we select such a noble person from? As long as money has so much influence in the Electorial Process, we all lose. Our system has discarded the Founding Principle of representing the people, to one that specifically represents the largest campaign donors - but hey, the SCOTUS has proclaimed that Corporations are free to spend as much as they want on influencing Election results because they are now considered INDIVIDUALS like the rest of us, so I guess I am incorrect in my statement and we have nothing at all to worry about because our future is in the beneficent hands of our "people caring" Corporations!

The recharge of CAP water is so lame. First of all, CAP probably won't be able to supply nearly what the mine will need due to the drought that is projected to last another 50 or 60 years. Second, recharge takes 7 years, so it we start the water recharge now, they could use it in 2019. However, what Rosemont will do is pump groundwater until then. That will deplete the already scarce water table we have now. BTW Much of the water used to grow pecans contnues down to the water table or back into the air by evaporation and it is NOT polluted by the chemicals the mine will need to use. This entire enterprise is faulty from the get-go and will not make Arizona a better or more financially stable place. The people who are pushing it are not the man on the street; they are the consultants who will make a bundle and those who think THEY might actually get one of those jobs. It would seem that a simple public vote would show that it is not a popular idea, just a Rosemont creation.

From Politico: Wait a minute ... I thought the OWS was a Democratic invention?

re: Bonnie sounds like the ugly American Taking a taxi in Hong Kong is loads of fun!

My comment is not against immigration law; my comment is in reference to the hatred displayed by so many of the people who post on these threads about illegal immigrants, care for the environment, better education, fairness in wages, gender equality, etc. Many of those same people who are so hard on illegal immigrants do not hesitate to support abusive corporations and the people who head them and/or empower them via elected offices, the very corporations that are actually the cause of the turmoil, not only here but throughout the world. I say, "Government, fix the immigration issues and stop making illegal immigrants your scapegoat for lack of proper governance." That applies to both the feds and local governments. They are all at fault in some way, and they are digging their heals in extreme positions instead of finding/applying solutions. Meanwhile the level of bigotry, racism and discord among the residents of the state and the country is reaching alarming levels, to the point that our people are now organizing demonstrations to target the corporatist mindset. Can't you see that the issue is not the common folks but the privileged ones who once again, as history repeats itself, have crossed beyond the line of decency? You can beat a dog just so much before he bites back or dies from suffering. The American People is a fighting bunch; they'll bite back hard before dying if that's what it takes. Some of the comments on these threads are just one more punch on the dog of tolerance by those who are usually the quiet ones.

Hope it gets used more than the street car did...........seems a waste to me.......should have put it toward a high speed train to Phoenix...oh right that would have made sense...

Thomas Power's report has been discredited a long time ago.

nuf said! back to work!

Conversely if you make broad generalizations they can sound pretty good too... Funny you should say "a healthy, stable government" and not a Nation or the populace... progressive income tax, and by having a minimum wage. Someone making seven and change and hour has what kind of normalized life ? You were talking about wealth, but then you switched to income. Whyzat ? I know....a year and a half after Obamacare...sad p.s. - in ten years when fully implemented there will still be over 20 million without insurance. Must not be that important There's actually probably more going to people who smoke drink and take illegal drugs. Why don't we work on those first and then see how much money is left ? Oh...right...personal freedom.... collective checkbook

Based on the results of the solar loans I see no way anything could possibly go wrong.

I'm there! Well, I think... I read the article a few times but I am still not totally clear if the ideas are limited to only "tech-related" ideas. The headline does say, "Tucson Tech," and in the article, it says: "Companies in the Desert Angels' portfolio include successful Tucson biomedical firms like HTG Molecular Diagnostics and artificial heart maker S nCardia S stems, as well as Medipacs Inc., a developer of portable medical pumps founded in Tucson but now based in San Diego." Does anyone know for sure if the ideas have to be of a "tech nature?" I suppose I better begin designing my poster (with a collage of my patented product in action) just in case. S o Commen

I'm sick of the "it's both parties" line. Which part brought us to the brink of default to impose their agenda? The Dems did not behave like that when the debt ceiling was raised 7 times under Bush.

A couple years ago Macayos started prominently displaying an E-Verfy sign in English and Spanish at eye level right in their front lobby. It was clear that they were advertising this to potential new employees walking in the door looking for a job. Workers who were not documented probably got the point, did a 180, and walked right out. It saved a lot of bother on everyone's part.

I thought Pelosi said, as soon as we pass the Obamacare health care plan it will create 400,000 jobs immediately! AND? Oh it the GM Electric cars we all want that the union makes.. they sold 10,000 units! TOTAL! and are ramping up production?!!! YOU WILL LIKE IT OR ELSE! is going to be the 'coming thing'? is it not? ISSUE YOU ONE OF THESE, YOU WILL PAY THE BILL, CUS WE'LL TAKE IT FROM YOUR BANK. Now there is a 'jobs plan' I'm expecting to hear someday soon. Good ol socialist... working class hero's of our "unions" you will have work! Or else... Who can afford the $100,000.00 piles of crap!

after the holidays (Xmas), the "entrants" will return.

Who really cares what this traitor thinks, why he is able to retain his US citizenship, I'll never know.

I believe you will find more facts on the comment board than in a vast majority of ADS articles! I often have to reread the ADS propaganda to ponder how could the ADS spin machine actually expect us to swallow their agenda. I enjoy reading Reuters news or WSJ, then looking at the libberish of the ADS to chuckle at their spin. JMHO

BTW, thanks for covering for Freddie. Much better discussion.

Maybe you could see fit to start your own bank. Charge whatever fees you think are "fair". Let us know how that works out for you.

Since the US Supreme Court claimed that corperations are people, we need every way available to us to fight that method of donations.

maybe those thieves should be or are working for augusta(rosemont)?

A mine is a terrible thing to waste. Yes, I know, that was a horrible pun.

Social Security would not even be in the conversation if Congress had left their hands out of the Social Security TRUST FUND!!! A trust fund is going to have money added to it and sometimes more added to it than is going out. But, one day all that money built up in that trust fund is going to start going out at a faster rate than what is coming in. Remember all those baby boomers that were paying in? They created a large surplus. Congress sees a way to balance the budget, borrows from the TRUST FUND with intent to payback but never pays back (or at least if they did at much smaller rates than what was needed). Now that all those baby boomers are retiring that surplus is needed to pay them their Social Security. Where is that money? It was used to balance the budget by a group of millionaires who can't balance a checkbook! So if Congress could have stuck to passing laws and balancing budgets without robbing a TRUST FUND that they shouldn't have been doing ANYTHING to in the first place at least that headache wouldn't even be around today. SHAME ON CONGRESS!!!!

If your Doctor or your school district pulls this mandated shot crap with this vaccine which is highly dangerous,(Do your research, young women are DEAD or severely damaged over this vaccine) take a legal letter with you that you make the school district nurse or physician sign, holding them legally and financially liable for any damage incurred to your child BEFORE they vaccinate and criminally accountable if it's proved they KNEW this vaccine is dangerous. You see, you're not ALLOWED to sue Merck. They have federal protection granted to them by Bush and further strengthened by Obama to take your right to sue over vaccine damage away. Now they are beta-testing this garbage on your children. Say NO, if they push or require it for school hand them the legal document and watch the rats scramble to protect their own ass. Trust me, this vaccine is dangerous. So dangerous it cost that dolt Perry the GOP nomination when he took money to force all little girls in Texas to get the shot. Someone please tell me how much Brewer got to push this in the state for Merck? How much did the school board at TUSD get to "require" this for school? I think an investigation is in order here.

If royalties on mineral revenue can be increased by a percent or so, the budget, both state and federal, would be looking much better. 15 years ago, the mining industry was all set to agree to mining law reform that included a 3- 5% net royality. An enviro-elitest federal legislative representative named Nick Rahal (WV) torpedoed the whole reform package because his largest supporters (NGOs) didn't like the compromises made between the congressional parties. Since then, the enviro-elitests goals have prevented attemptes to negotiate and agree to reasonable reform. Once again, federal representation that has failed us because of the all mighty re-election campaign contribution.......

Well she planned on making many more future trips, besides she was only doing it to feed her family.(lib view)

I want my government to take 70% of your stuff and give it to me. Why? Because you're greedy, and because my lack of having your stuff makes me morally superior to you.

Be carefull with these urgent cares. I just went to one yesterday and when I asked to have a copy of the doctor's notes, given to me or sent to my primary care, they told me I would have to go, not write, to the parent hospital and ask for them. When I asked if I could give them a release now, they said I could not. I looked up the HIPAA regulations and there seems to be nothing preventing them from making it difficult for people to give a release.

Besides her salary, why is there no information on her education, date and place of birth etc. anywhere to be found?

National Healthcare now! 12 US Presidents,R's & D's, were not wrong.Anything less is shell games,smoking mirrors,and charades.It's about logistics.The greatest medical system in the world is useless,without delivery.Get the product to the consumer.Everyone pays,everyone plays.The fourth leg of the National Healthcare stool is the US Justice Department.40% of healthcare costs and losses, are due to mismanagement,fraud,and racketeering.

Since the federal govt has squandered hundreds of billions of "stimulus" dollars and no one is talking about where they went, I'd prefer no further "stimuli" that involve spending money we don't have. period.

My dog did it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Better warn the peaceniks in the crowd. Ozzy Osborn is to be in Tucson latter today. If they are mistaken for doves, well, you know what might happen. LOL

It is interesting that Fitz accuses the Republicans of dismissing Mathis without benefit of an investigation or hearing. Mathis was the one who claimed the IRC could not be investigated by the attorney general for potential violations of the open meetings law. There could have been an investigation, but she is the one who refused to participate. No government entity should be above the law. All government entities have to comply with the Open Meetings Law. (Please note that political parties are NOT governmental entities, so a caucus of Senate Democrats can hold closed meetings, as can a caucus of Senate Republicans.) When Mathis refused to participate in the investigation of that issue she herself set the stage for her dismissal in the way it took place.

But the board maintains it hasn't received documents it requested from the city and from Wells Fargo, such as bank statements for Rio Nuevo accounts. Why not? Answer that question, and the ice may begin to break.

What wages and benefits did they pay these workers? How does that compare to what other non-union contractors pay their workers? Union contractors would obviously pay their workers more, but then again, union contractors would never knowingly recruit "illegals".

LOL, Obama's party controlled both houses with a supermajority. He, Pelosi and the progressives spent over a year attempting to cram Yobama care down our throats while peddling favors, selling and trading votes and doing back room negotiations all among themselves while nothing else was accomplished. This against the will of the majority of American voters. I have one question to ask Obama........ You want some cheese with that whine? The Obama administration and the democrats in congress are the epitome of SNAFU!

Sorry, I didn't fall off the potato truck yesterday. Are you really going to try to tell me with a straight face that the land in the middle of nowhere (aka Mammoth, AZ) and subject to flooding from the San Pedro could be sold off for subdivisions??? If so, I've got nice ocean front property out here in Cochise county I'll sell you for subdivisions. Huh? The last thing I would want is for the government to try to mine the copper itself. I'm quite happy to see Resolution invest and develop the mine and receive a return on their investment. Resolution doesn't need to own the land & mineral rights for that to happen. Why is the only way to develop this mine is to give than land to Resolution Copper? It isn't.

I know! Some, do, have a flair for the dramatic ... even if it's not true. But that said, the idea that in her mind, her situation was at all comparable to that of the majority of OWSers, is telling.

Thank God the nanny state is here to save me!

Open up a tent city for the repeat violators.

By that logic, tobacco and alcohol would be prohibited, since they have proven, and very easily observed, detrimental effects. Just visit Circle K at night for the homeless alcoholics and the respiratory unit at a hospital for all of the emphysema, lung cancer, and COPD patients. The prohibition isn't about health risks; it never was.

In 2001 the rate was even lower at 4.2% in January up to 5.7% in December. And I hate to burst your bubble Alex but some of us were complaining, not particularly because of the unemployment rate but because there were people here who shouldn't be here and they were working illegally and draining taxpayer provided services. If you knew anyone with a kid who was leaving high school and wanting to get into construction you probably heard about the inability to get that kind of job without knowing Spanish, and then at much less pay than in the past.

There you go, another example of MAS indoctrination: if anybody questions MAS, call them a racist. YAWN. You MAS supporters have played the race card so much, and so often, that just like the proverbial "boy who cried wolf", nobody believes you anymore. You have succeeded in making the term "racist" meaningless.

In my opinion,,,,thats not errant! This means they broke more than one of our laws,,,the first would be illegally being in this country and the second would be for the traffic violation, be it civil or criminal. I don't understand when someone says its O.K. to be in this country illegally. Obviously, they don't understand or care about the fact,that we don't know who has crossed our border and are in our country. There are still bad people in the world who want to do us harm, by any means possible. We have to get a handle on this situation. We haven't learned a damn thing since 9/11 except for the fact that we've lost some of our constitutional rights. As an American, I resent the liberties I have been forced to give up, in the name of terrorism. When the process works,,,legal immigration, we do know who is in our country and I don't have a problem with that, but hey, shouldn't the law breakers have to go back to the end of the line and obey to our laws in the first place? Obviously not,,,,their special.

The Clowncil needs to look in their own back yards first...ask Steve K and other clowncil members how many of his employees they have let go!! And ask how tactfully it was done? It is no secret - they have no management skills, and yet we trust them to run the city...into the ground!

deeper in debt - the 'deficit' is the amount of 'over in debt you are - the amount of interest only paid - not paying off 'debt' just borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. "Deficit Spending" paying the 'overdrafted credit card' trying to stay 'floating' is 'reality'.

Rick Perry says he has created more jobs than the others and yet, I just heard that three in five are living below the poverty level in Texas. He must mean those labor jobs the illegals used to do.

Excellent news it’s about time Customs & Border Patrol inconvenience illegals more than they do American citizens. I am also glad they shut down the check point on ASR 90. Let's keep the patrol in Border Patrol.

Mitigation is a joke. The only way to mitigate ecologic and economic damage to Southern Arizona is to prevent the mine from being built. All true Arizonans remotely concerned for Arizona's viability reject this project.

I have talked to people who voted for this "temp" sales tax. To a person, the response was " it is for education". Not one of them knew that the sales tax was not slated for education, but only advertised as maybe, could be spent for education. And not one of them knew that at the same time, the legislature was trying to pass an equal amount of tax cuts for business. Which the legislature did pass. We are being taking for fools and many of us are willing drinking the kool aid.

I'm sure Mr. Traub will be checking his mail daily for the 'check enclosed'.... from all of us of course.

Yea that’s the answer let's all wallow in mediocrity.

"This is not "their" park" Then exactly whose park is it. Thought it was a public park !!

What kind of a "headline" is this? Every normal person would be distraught and affected, so does it need to be announced that SHE was distraught? Is that an unexpected surprise or what? I am having a terrible time comprehending these dumbed down feeble headlines!

It is time for this law as the jerks can't seem to control themselves these days when it comes to texting.

What happened to the "focus on jobs" ??

I am p i ed Ki land a n' on he li . The e i a 100 b 100 mile mi le ange o he o h. Shaw is a bit of a strange possibilit . I wasn't aware of an gunnar ranges in the area. Hawaii will alwa s have trouble with environmentalists, I am assuming the plan is to fl the drones out to sea. I am guessing Shaw will get it, because the onl reason that makes sense wh the made the list is to satisf a South Carolina congressman. McCain and K le probabl never even talked to them about it.

FRED S. - Anyone who was here at the time of the Gasen Purchase and the end of the Mexican War - were made citizens. AND it is the American Indians that were the historic inhabitants. There were only 750 people in Tucson in 1848. Stop misrepresenting history.

They would use lagoons of cyanide and sulfuric acid for the purposes of extracting minerals from ore Leave it to Tony to turn a "news" story into a one sided bleeding heart opinion piece. It is obvious that Mr. Teel has no clue what he is talking about here, and a reporter with some integrity would have left a garbage quote such as this out instead of allowing an interviewee to propegate unsubstantiated rhetoric. Thus rendering this "news" story to "opinion piece" status.

People just want open borders where everyone, including criminals, can just freely cross over. Sanity definitely needs to come into the debate, but even more to those who support illegal immigration.

Not your best work, Mr. Will. Although, I'd agree with the notion of fending off the "fourth branch" as being the root cause of "all this noise". If we don't build for the most distracted/flighty individuals, we're going to be seen in court. Perhaps we should all sign a waiver.

"The number of illegal immigrants deported for commiting traffic violations was the highest last fiscal year than at any time in the past 11 years, national figures show." Ole! Of course there are some among us (maybe including the author of this article?) who believe these violators should be allowed to stay until they kill or maim someone.

The only similarity between OWS and the TEA Party is that both groups oppose Wall Street bailouts and Corporate socialism. From there, the two groups are as far apart as night and day. OWS appears to support more government spending, higher taxes and additional regulation. The TEA Party stands for the exact opposite. Don't the OWS protesters understand that the more money siphoned off from the taxpayers (and lenders) will just go toward more of the same - government corruption and corporate greed? Don't they understand that government regulations are a tool whereby politicians punish their enemies and enrich their friends? The sooner OWS and the TEA Party converge on the common goal of making government accountable to the people, the sooner we will begin to see real change in America.

If you're un or underemployed, envious of people who seem to have more than you, have no work history or at least a positive one and don't even realize how uneducated you are, this racist propaganda would probably appeal to you. It's easier to feel victimized than it is to prepare yourself for success.

Occupy Wall Street or Tea Party? Very illuminating.

Obama's team wants to marry much-needed job creation with the politically sour stimulus, hoping that will help Democrats gain favor with voters after a bruising, yearlong battle with Republicans over health care Nice spin. The bruising yearlong battle was with members of their own party over how to divvy up the goodies. p.s. - why's the Stimulus sour ? According to it, we're at 7.5% unemployment right now....

There is no reason a flat tax, or even a step tax can not work. Get rid of all these deductions and side steps around paying a tax. Liberals bitch and moan about large corporations not paying... They don't pay because they pay someone a lot of money to find ways of not paying in the monster tax code we have. The same could be said of wealthiest 5%. But liberals love the present system because it is all about government control. I have read the previous comments and come to the conclusion that liberals are against any change that was thought up by anyone other then another liberal. This re post being in the Arizona Communist Star is no surprise...

By the way fascists, did you know that Perry was Al Gores Texas Presidential campaign manager in 1988. A real conservative!

While they are at it, I would like to borrow some of the money being printed by the fed that is backed ONLY by the public trust. Once the world wide debt bubble bursts it won't be worth the paper it's printed on but it could be used in an upgraded version of monopoly! Let's keep spending and borrowing and spending and borrowing and spending and borrowing and.... Debt crisis; what debt crisis? Haven't you read Krugman, we can spend our way out of this financial mess! How can these people be so obtuse? I can almost visualize their faces on the day the house of cards comes tumbling down; sad and humorous both.

can we refer/equate republicans to Sharks or Contract Killers, Yes We Can... republicans are now admitting to Hating Themselves Almost As Much As Everyone Else Hates Them.. republican freshman rep from SC Trey Gowdy says "We're below sharks and contract killers," you're at 9%, even Snakes have a better approval rating............. read all about it.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/27/congress-approval-rating_n_1051569.html http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/10/28/1030850/-A-Sad-GOP-Senator-Admits-GOP-led- Congress-is-Bad-?via=siderec

The reason for the curfew does not apply here. The law was meant to reduce nuisance. This is a citizens's right that was guaranteed by the constitution. Therefore the constitution trumps a city ordinance that is purely a trivial rule compared to a major right that ensures we are a free and democratic society. If a simple city ordinance can out way the constitution then we have nothing to lose and no choice but to turn to another solution. OK let's apply your logic. Clearly the Second Amendment and the Constitution of the State of Arizona which guarantees my right to bear arms trumps the silly prejudice of any store or bar owner who wants to post a "No Firearms" sign. By posting his sign he is violating my right to bear arms. After all the law which allows him to post that sign is "trivial" in comparison. That means I can also carry a firearm into any City owned building or a County Court House because my Constitutional right trumps any silly city or county ordnance right? Clearly I can also carry a firearm into class at the U of A or Pima College because my Constitutional right to bear arms trumps any silly University rule. Obviously these are purely trivial rules compared to a major right that ensures we are a free and democratic society.

OR for us to seal the border at let those cowards running away fight for their own country! Sounds “humane” enough for me.

It sucks that "local" radio stations are less and less local. Jennie Grabel was the most recognizable voice of 92.9, and the station will suffer in her absence. Sorry to see the continued changes at 97.1 . I enjoy the music, but they continue to screw around with their on air talent, changing their shifts before they show them the door. The mismanagement of this station is almost criminal, it should be one of the more popular stations in town. Instead of promoting and encouraging the connection to the community, they have a national morning show, and just fired their last local DJ (as far as I know, not sure where the new guy is from). Just a shame. Just more corporate management of local radio. Tucsons radio stations are for the most part, owned by corporations located out of Tucson. Money is the operative word here. Journal just fired 3 from Mega. Heck it appears they changed to the groove or some such just to get rid of 3 employees and save money while getting rid of any local connection with the audience. Now 92 and 97 are doing the same thing. It's lowest common denominator radio. No personality, no local connection. Just more $$$$ for the corporation. And fewer jobs. Great.

This is why liberals like you get made fun of. You think that "we the people" are too stupid to take care of ourselves, and must have every decision made for us under a liberal nanny-state.

So what are you proposing, that parent's wealth be confiscated from the family and not allowed to be passed on to the children? I hope not. My parents worked damn hard to make money and save money, and in their death passed it on to me. I'm doing the same for my children, as many of us are. Why should my family's sweat equity be taken and redistributed to those who do nothing? We already have a vehicle for me to give my money away, it's called charitable donations, something we do through our church and payroll deduction. This is what scares me about Obama's plan, especially to eliminate tax deductions for charitable donations. If he accomplishes that, he can control where the money goes, who gets it, and how much. Under the present system, he has no control and we are free to help whomever we choose however much we choose. I like that system. (Yes we would still have that right if there was no tax deduction, but it seems obvious charitable giving would decrease if there was no tax benefit).

Well Virginia, your one-weeks worth of insight would be 100% wrong. Hate to tell you this, but there are a lot of folks in the southern Arizona region that have decades of experience with all facets of mining, processing, and environmental issues whether they or their relatives worked directly in the industry or related fields, lived in mining towns, or just like mining history and mineral collecting. Same goes for the folks on these threads who are passionate about weapons-related issues - they don't necessarily work for the firearms store. Those who are interested in border control don't automatically work for the Border Patrol.

At what?? Spending millions on vacations??

And now comes NEWS that oboimno has broken another one of his campaign promises of getting rid of "NO BID CONTRACTS". He awarded a $25 Million dollar No Bid Contract to a large campaign contributor. How's that for Hope and Change?????? This apparently wasn't on his C-Span agenda either. Has he actually TOLD THE TRUTH on anything????

ICE is all too willing to break this family up. Actually, I believe the family played the bigger part in it.

So yes...it was approved by the voters. Thanks. Live with it.

BUY AZC! Treehuggers go away!

The rules identified in the policy have been implemented over the last several months following a number of disruptive incidents earlier this year. Ah, Alexis, what are the rest of the rules. The press release that you rewrote only talked about a "safety zone." You know you might want to do a little actual reporting on the rest of the rules? Ya think? But no, that would be too much work. Just let one of your ex buddies from the ADS that is now working for the spin machine that is TUSD and Pima County feed you a news release and you ignore the meat of the release cause they don't want anyone to know what the rest of the RULES are. I find it interesting that Grijalva and Burns aren't quoted cause that means that they are behind all the petty BS and they let their little lacky board president take the lead to make it look like he is doing something. Come on Alexis, can the kids still bring in chains and the pro LaRaza groups shout the taxpayers down and call them racists? You know, Alexis, the important stuff rather than a strip of yellow tape on the floor. What are the other rules?
