As we hit day number 120 at the Legislature, we find the out-of-county folks losing a significant number of per-diem dollars, as well as a not so significant loss to those who reside/represent the folks in Maricopa County.  This is one of those quirky rules designed to ensure the folks at the legislature 'get outta Dodge' so to speak with a budget in hand that will be agreed to by the Governor.

I would like to personally thank Officers' Schultz and Christy for stepping up and volunteering to be on post at 0400  on Friday May 2nd, 2008 to make sure the participants of the 2008 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics were well cared for.  This year, 32 staff participated in the run.  Florence TSU did the honors of carrying the torch and passing it over the Sheriff Dept at Florence Junction.  Thanks again Officer Schultz and Christly for your efforts.  You are appreciated.

Clearly, AZCPOA is growing faster and larger than many ever thought imaginable.  As we fast approach the 4,000 member mark (we gained 150 new members in the month of March, 2008), I felt it time to reflect a little bit.

Fellow Officers:  There is good news to report today , April 7, following the FIIR committee meeting.  After reconsidering her position with  HB2117 , Senator Pamela Gorman scheduled the CORP Ordinary Disability Bill and it was passed unanimously by a vote of 5-0,with very little testimony.  

Fellow Officers:
The following Bills have a brief status summary , my perspective  and link for further clarification / explanation.  Please stay involved and contact the applicable committees when necessary.
