It is time for Arizona politicians to stop embarrassing the citizens of Arizona by acting on the will of the narrow-minded minority and start acting for the good of the majority of the people!

On Feb. 2nd, a coal ash pond belonging to Duke Energy spilled 30,000 to 40,000 tons of toxin-laced ash into the Dan River, coating 70 miles of riverbed with toxic sludge. Yet Duke Energy may be able to evade responsibility for the disaster and for cleaning up its coal ash lagoons because of their cozy relationship with high-ranking McCrory appointees and employees within NC's environmental regulatory agency.

Colorado succeeded in a fight to not let corporate industry pollute our air while developing our state's natural resources. Our experience can serve as a model for other states.

We have been researching garment factories in Bangladesh, and have found that the factories are continuously unsafe and the workers' rights are unfair. The Bangladesh Fire Safety Accord was created to improve factory conditions, and was signed by numerous prestigious companies, yet Walmart was not one of them. Not only does Walmart need to sign the accord as it is an influential corporation, but it also must go further to increase the wages and amount of training of the workers for it will encourage other companies to follow in its lead.

Our Goal is to demonstrate the need for more mountain biking recreational opportunities, particularly throughout the Wasatch. With this support we plan on acquiring funding in order to build new or renovate existing bike parks and trails. The rapid increase in cyclists and the lack of safe quality trail lends the area to be a perfect candidate to increase biking opportunities. Getting more people outside recreating, playing, and enjoying themselves in the wonderful outdoors we have just outside our doorsteps.

Some traditions are too important to let something like a change in conference stand in the way. Think of the tax dollars currently being lost in Kansas City, Columbia, and even Lawrence...

Our valley and entire state have long been ruled by the funds of environmentally destructive industries that have no regard for the people of this state. It is time to take a stand and protect our safety and the best interest of the people who live here.

Our military and their families give up so much on a daily basis. This is no way to repay them for their service to our country. After they showed up and went to Iraq and Afghanistan to serve and protect our government has decided to kick them to the curb while they continue to pad their salaries and benefits. We need to have their backs and stand united and say NO. If anyone needs to cut their pay,retirement,medical and benefits it should be them.
