Lull Before Storm as Arizona Legislature Girds for Battle
Arizona House and Senate edge toward a subsistence allowance clash after a four day pause. The House passed a bill raising pay to 22 and 17 dollars daily, while the Senate suspends action and aims to set a 17 dollar baseline with Phoenix members at 12 dollars.

Eligibility Questioned For Tucson Council Candidate
For the second day in a row a Republican ward candidate faced scrutiny over eligibility. Charles E. Branin was found not to have been a continuously registered Tucson voter for the past three years, though he met residency requirements. Branin announced a bid for Ward 3 in the February 21 primary, while James Troutwine in Ward 6 was disqualified over residence duration. The city charter requires three years of residency and electoral qualification before candidacy. A Superior Court judge cited Ahrens vs Kirby, stating a “qualified elector” is defined as one who is registered to vote.
