Arizona has forgotten its children [View all]

Over one third of Arizona children have had bad childhood experiences compared to 2.6 percent nationally.
It is even worse, 44 percent, for ages 12 to 17, that national average 30.5 percent.

The incompetent Gov. Jan Brewer waited until a significant number of Arizona kids had died before revamping Child Protective Services and taking it out of the hands of her political appointee to head CPS, a close crony of Brewer's. The Arizona GOP legislature, sometimes more inept that Brewer, is also guilty of neglecting welfare programs that would help these children.


And many of the voters in this state are equally culpable for electing these fruitcakes.

2014 has to be the year of the progressive.
