Phoenix, Arizona · PhoenixUnder its current composition, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) has never met a utility rate hike it doesn’t like.

Abortion · PhoenixThe Arizona state Senate passed a motion Wednesday to introduce a bill repealing the pre-statehood abortion ban with some help from Republican members, although neither chamber voted on a repeal bill. The chamber did not have their own clean legislation to revoke the law, so the pressure was on the House to act. That was until Sen. Anna Hernandez, D-Phoenix, made a motion for the late introduction of a bill. Sen. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, mad…See the Story
