Rep. David Schapira -
...Schapira received a lot of notice (ok, it was mostly the same article run in a lot of places :) ) about passage of his amendment to a DUI bill that would require those convicted of a DUI to have an ignition interlock in their car for a year.
Quote from the EV Tribune:
Schapira said it will help prevent people from becoming the victims of drunken drivers.
"It takes that decision away from the individual who's been drinking and makes an objective determination of whether they’re capable of driving their car when they may or may not be able to make that determination on their own at their given state of intoxication," he said.
...He was also mentioned, but not quoted in a article about Step It Up 2007 event at ASU. (EV Trib)
Rep. Ed Ableser -
...Ableser was mentioned in this week's Political Insider column in the AZ Rep; specifically, his contribution to the annual softball game. He wasn't quoted in the column, but was in this one tidbit:
Ableser would later suffer the softball indignity of working the pitch count until he earned a walk. We're talking slow-pitch here, folks.
Ummm...having played softball, I can tell you that the true softball indignity is not a walk. It's a strikeout.
...He was quoted in an ASU State Press article about a proposal to build a new, modern building for the state lege.
Quote:
The proposals were developed with student input and focused on being green-friendly, [dean of the ASU College of Design] Reiter said.
It would be important to set a precedent for sustainability with the new building, said Rep. Ed Ableser, D-Scottsdale/Tempe.
"If we were going to build a new campus, we need to show that our capitol is going to be the front-runner on green technology and sustainability," he said.
...Ableser was also mentioned, but not quoted, in the articles cited in the Schapira section of this post.
It was a quiet week in terms of MSM coverage for Sen. Meg Burton-Cahill.
Later!
