Presenting on the importance of energy production to EVP to maintain our strong economic growth. No better colleague than Andy Tobin-Arizonan/American “Free Enterprise” to co-present what makes AZ’s economy tick.

Hmmm. Productivity increases will offset any birth rate concerns in select countries. Other countries are still growing too rapidly. PS, then don’t cut Medicaid without first identifying the waste.

An incompetent federal government combined with an even more incompetent Fed Reserve Board are to blame for the majority of the housing affordability problems we now face. We cannot spend like drunken sailors, then let the drunken sailors set the interest rates and manage the

The current MC board is one of the most politically experienced groups we’ve worked with. Very well run finances and policy support. Great work to all, and especially Thomas Galvin: Chairman, Maricopa County BOS and Debbie Lesko
