Dear @GovernorHobbs: Since APS is no longer about to use securitization & legislators likely realize APS duped them, we recommend a special session to repeal highly contentious law & hold stakeholder process to develop legislation that actually protects consumers. @chadcampbellAZ.
I'll be reaching out to APS to discuss their decision and reiterate that we must continue investing in new energy technologies and diversify our energy portfolio at the fastest rate possible.

TY @reaganspriest for your article compiling top takeaways from APS announcements & including @ArizonaPIRG: ". investing in additional out-of-state gas does not necessarily translate to reliable energy. And, too frequently, volatile gas prices do not bode well for consumers.".
Arizona Public Service announced it will join in the expansion of a natural gas pipeline while also announcing it will roll back several clean energy targets.

Another great & comprehensive article containing various perspectives by @SashaHupka. Check it out. Teaser for our take in the article: "Utilities in Arizona are locking in costly out-of-state gas expenditures that ratepayers will be paying for decades.".

Good news! TY @AZAGMayes.
Just because you live in a rural county doesn’t mean that these telecommunications companies can treat you differently. Proud of the settlements we've negotiated with Frontier and Verizon to protect 911 access and ensure broadband connectivity.

Social media can be a great way to connect with new friends, but it’s a different story when someone approaches you to be friends and then asks for money. That’s no friend — that’s a scammer.

"The Right to Repair movement’s progress from coast to coast has been an important reminder that while some things divide Americans, we also agree on a lot. Repair means we get to keep our trusty devices going for longer, saving us money and cutting waste.".
Once, an industry lobbyist told me we'd never pass our bill, no matter how popular Right to Repair was with the public -- the collective power of the manufacturers was just too much. Anyway, we passed 4 bills over the last week.
