Legislative schedule - week starting 9/17/2023

This week looks to be about rationalizing the fraud perpetrated on the voters by the lege when the lege enacted (and expanded) school vouchers.

Note: HHR refers to a hearing room in the House building; SHR refers to one in the Senate building.

Note2: Generally, I'll only specify bills that look to spread propaganda.  Other bills may be more conventionally bad (think: corrupt or other misuses of public monies and/or authority).  My recommendation is that if an agenda covers an area of interest to you, read the entire agenda.

Note3: Each chamber's respective Rules Committee meets on Monday, the House's in HHR4 at 1 p.m. and the Senate's in Senate Caucus Room 1, also at 1 p.m.  Both committees serve as rubber stamps for bills leadership wants to be advanced and gatekeepers for measures that leadership wants stopped.

Note4: Meeting start times may be listed, but are flexible.  Before journeying to the Capitol or viewing the meeting online, verify the start time.

Note5: Watch for strikers, or strike everything amendments.  Those involve inserting language that replaces the entirety of a bill.  Those can be introduced at any time and can make a previously harmless bill into a very bad one. 




On Wednesday, 9/20

House Ad Hoc Study Committee on Empowerment Scholarship Accounts Governance and Oversight meets at 2 p.m.in HHR3.  The fix looks to be in here.

Not only is the committee slated to receive a presentation from Alan Maguire, one of the creators of the expenditure limit screwing over public education, the members of the committee include a person currently with the anti-society (but pro-corporate) group the Goldwater Institute, a person who was once with the same organization, later pulled a paycheck from the AZ Charter School Association, and now works for the Heritage Foundation, and one of Tom Horne's lackeys/accomplices,
