Phoenix Session Ends Quietly as Majorities Lead
In a five day special session in Phoenix the majority groups controlled the pace and outcomes while the minority offered explanation. Key figures included Sen. William F. Kimball and Rep.

Ruppelius aimed to shift interim committee work to the University of Arizona and likely won’t advance.
