Unfit to Serve

Republican Speaker of the House Russell Bowers’ office recently informed AzCDL that not only will HB 2257 never be assigned to a committee for a hearing, the bill will not even receive the perfunctory First and Second Reads that most other bills receive.  Meanwhile, Speaker Bowers has assigned anti-rights bills like HB 2577, which would weaken state firearms preemption, to committees for review.

I've found common ground for agreement, if not necessarily for reasons then for ultimate conclusions...

But he's a darling of the American Conservative Union.

Small wonder:

The American Conservative Union has released the latest in its endless series of letters pushing amnesty for illegal aliens and a doubling of future legal immigration. The letter itself is the usual stuff: We’re running out of workers, “spurs economic growth,” ”legal status to undocumented immigrants,” ” border security triggers,” etc.

So his rejection of the bill makes perfect sense when you consider his priority is not fidelity to the Constitution but to business interests über alles.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."
