On June 15, Arizona SB 1123 passed the State Senate by 17-11. It requires all cities in the state to use non-partisan elections for their own offices. The only effect of the bill is on Tucson, which is the only city in Arizona that now uses partisan elections. The bill is now in the House Judiciary Committee.
Ah, Phoenix bullying Tucson some more. A tale that goes back to the 1880s and Phoenix getting the Insane Asylum in stead of the state university…..
