I support public education in Arizona

Categories: Education, Politics

To the Governor of Arizona and my representatives, I am a registered voter in Arizona who highly values education.

Because I care about my daughter’s education, and all her classmates. And I know that based on past actions my daughter’s teacher will not be able to count on the state supporting her. Keep reading

And by the 24th things were starting to wind down at the Olympics. But we still got some commentary in. Bobsled. Curling. Hockey. Keep reading
