Opening Day!
Monday, January 11 is Opening Day for the Second Regular Session of the 49th Legislature. Governor Brewer will deliver her State of the State Address at noon before a joint session of the legislature.
As of this message, 122 bills have been "prefiled" or introduced. We anticipate an avalanche of bills to be dropped in both chambers next week. So far, eight committee hearings have been scheduled over the first three days. To find the daily legislative calendar, go to ALIS Today. There, you can customize dates to select a specific range of dates.
On the financial front, the state still faces an estimated $1.5 billion shortfall in the current fiscal year, and a $3.4 billion shortfall for next year. If shared revenue for cities is discussed as an option to balance the state's budget, we'll alert PLAN subscribers to contact their legislators to help protect these monies that pay for police, fire, parks, libraries, and other important city programs.
We will also continue to keep you informed about issues that the legislature debates that affect your neighborhood. You are the very best advocate for your neighborhood and city and we appreciate the opportunity to help you be effective. Thank you for all you do.
Remember to SHOP PHOENIX and tell your legislators to protect city revenues!
