New AZ Supreme Court Ruling..Taking Funds from First Things First Ruled ILLEGAL!!!!

Sorry I haven't had too much to post lately, things have been quiet, and our services are continuing so far there hasn't been much to say : )

I did find this article in the Republic today, what I've speculated all along is true, the legilsature attempting to take accrued interest from First Things First to balance their budget was ILLEGAL and WENT AGAINST THE AZ CONSTITUTION THEY WERE PROTECTED FUNDS!

This is good news!

It looks like the Budget has Passed

There is an article in the AZ Republic that states Gov. Brewer has signed a new budget in. Here is the link:

According to the article, funding for the Department of Education, DES, and Department of Health all recieved funding, but the state's budget is still about $2 Billion out of balance, so we'll see where it goes from here, it certainly seems like good news, but like everything else, I will believe it when I see it, but so far, it sounds good.

Has anyone had any hearings yet? If so, how did they go?
