<span class="medium">Politics at Its Best & Worst</span>

Congressman Rick Renzi has garnered a spot in both articles on the front page. In the first, the Congressman's dedication to preserving American freedom becomes obvious as he elucidates his thoughts on preserving the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. He follows through with his conviction of upholding that doctrine by helping draft legislation "to restore the property rights of all Americans." In the second article, Congressman Renzi again demonstrates that he is a "man of action" who truly works for his constituents with nearly three million dollars secured for the Tonto Creek Bridge. Kudos to Congressman Renzi. Unfortunately I can't offer the same accolades to Arizona's governor whose unbridled conceit rivals only her egotism. According to Senate President Ken Bennett and House Speaker Jim Weiers, "Governor Janet Napolitano has claimed credit for herself where none exists in this year's historic reduction in business property taxes." Perhaps Napolitano's illusions are her way of compensating for vacuity. The web page for this publication is nearly finished and is expected to be up and running on August 15, slightly later than first anticipated when I made the announcement a few weeks ago. The good news is that the site will be quite extensive, offering articles from the most current issue, as well as a searchable database of previous articles, photos and information of local real estate for sale, a link to other useful sites, and so much more! It is easily navigable and readers will have the latest updates at the click of their mouse. Look for the site address in the next issue. Until then . . . take care.
