Wow!!!
There's two whole committees on this week's schedule at the Arizona legislature this week! Two!
Of course, there's a holiday the following week, so they may be doubling up in lieu of doing anything in the aftermath of the holiday.
On Monday, 8/25 - Nada.
On Tuesday, 8/26

Joint Ad Hoc Study Committee on Correctional Practices and Facility Safety meets at 10 a.m. in HHR1. On the agenda: no bills; two presentations/testimony about the Arizona Department of Corrections.
One of the entries on the agenda is a rather vague "Expert testimony relating to the Department of Corrections". The agenda states that no public testimony will be taken at the meeting.
The press release from House Rs on the meeting says some of the testimony will be from "subject matter experts". Which may be the R way of saying "Who needs facts? We're just going listen to want to hear."
The press release states one purpose of the meeting will be to examine a rise in inmate deaths in state prisons. What the press release *doesn't* state is if the Rs controlling the committee want that number reduced or increased.
The press release goes on to say that another "focus" of the meeting will be to look into a "growing number of custody-level overrides".
Wonder if Ghislaine Maxwell will be one of the "subject matter experts" giving testimony.
On Wednesday, 8/27

Joint Legislative Ad Hoc Committee on Family Court Orders meets at 9 a.m. in SHR1. On the agenda: no bills; just testimony. Unlike the other meeting, the Rs running this one actually want testimony from members of the public...so long as they felt the "impact of" (OK, disagree with) an order from a family court.
On Thursday, 8/28 - Nada.
