Arizona Senate Rejects Education Reform With Voucher Fight
The Arizona Senate defeated a broad education reform bill tied to a private school voucher plan by 16-13 after weeks of haggling. Economically, $39 million for reforms, $10 million for preschool funding, and $12.2 million for an inflation factor died with the package, leaving $48 million for inflation but no salary gains for teachers. Leaders like Sen. Tom Patterson and Sen. Lela Alston condemned the outcome, while House Speaker Mark Killian argued the state has done more for children and touted a large upcoming budget.

Arizona Prop 1 seeks tougher burden in asset seizure cases
The measure would require police to prove higher burden in property seizures, funnel seized assets to state and county redistributions, mandate regular reporting of seizure sources, and require full compensation if a person is exonerated or wins a challenge. It also eases reclaiming seized property by uninvolved third parties and cites teen driving as a cited example. The Tribune notes a string of cases since 1990 and the investigation found property cases with no charges filed.
