State government reforms urged in Arizona editorial
The piece argues Arizona government is weak and unresponsive due to unclear lines of responsibility and diffuse power. It cites plural executives, layered committees, and a headless fourth branch, urging reforms: abolish plural executive, reduce agencies, organize Legislature by party, publish full records, and urbanize Senate to revive representative government. William Phillips, Assistant Professor of History at Arizona State University, endorses the call.
