11. GOOD if it helps flip AZ government blue. Then ballot initiatives

trying to bypass a governor and legislature controlled by knuckledragging, wealth-serving Republicans won't be needed.

Teacher problems are huge and righteous, and this is a shame, but they're only a small part of what's wrong with AZ.

Governor Ducey two years ago increased the number of judges on their supreme court by two, and two more conservative justices were added. That action was supported by the same AZ Chamber of Commerce that brought this action striking down the teachers' ballot initiative.

In running for reelection, Ducey claims to be for teacher raises, but education funding has declined over his time in office.

Arizonans need to BELIEVE THE ACTIONS, NOT THE WORDS.
