    “Instead what they usually do is throw rocks.” – Former Phoenix Mayor Paul Johnson on Democrats in the AZ State Legislature.

    Bill Moyer’s excellent investigative report on ALEC is available online so don’t miss it, since it features our very own Senator Steve Farley prominently. Arizona gets a fair amount of attention in the report since we have a whole lotta Republican lawmakers as members and they heart them some ALEC model legislation.

    Toward the end you’ll see Farley talking about his “sunshine” bill that would require legislators to disclose ALEC gifts and scholarships just as other lobbyist expenditures have to be. Rock throwing!

    Bio: I grew up in Silver Spring, MD, and an adventurous streak led me to join the Navy. I moved to Arizona in 1997 after serving 10 years in the Navy to work in semi-conductor manufacturing. I got involved in national and Arizona politics in 2003. I ran for 2006 State Senate in Ahwatukee and was a Delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. I now live in North Central Phoenix with my boyfriend, Mark, and our three dogs. I've been blogging for Democratic Diva since 2007 about local and national politics with a strong emphasis on women's issues.
