After a very heavy Sunday, I loved attending my daughter’s choir concert. They end each concert with this song, written and composed by a Westwood Alum (Rob Gardner) who is also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

We were bored this evening, so we decided to play the floor is lava with my 10-yr-old, 14, 20 and my husband. We very nearly broke some furniture and/or bones, but what a great way to have some fun, do some problem solving, and get some exercise!

Since its inception, Project Momentum has achieved incredible outcomes, and we were saddened to see its funding cut. Nevertheless, ADE is committed to Project Momentum’s work and is now announcing that it will step up with funds to both facilitate its uninterrupted service
@AZInformer I put the bill on the agenda. I think it seems like a good approach that doesn’t single anyone out & retains privacy. But identical policy was overturned by the courts & sets a legal precedent our attorney saw little chance of overturning. So the bill sponsor asked me to hold it.
“The state is in an infinitely better position than when he (Ducey) took office,” Udall said. “It’s now time for him to keep one more promise.”

Not only is threatening a county supervisor for doing his job illegal, it hurts our community, our state, and our nation. You cannot call yourself a patriot and then turn around and attack the form of government true patriots set up and fight to defend. 1/
Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates has confirmed that he moved to an undisclosed location for his safety after security concerns connected to the 2022 midterm elections. https://t.co/MgGQ69KohX
Attacking those in office makes it more likely that the only ones willing to run for office are power-hungry narcissists. That doesn’t mean we can’t criticize & disagree with public officials. But threatening them is not constructive criticism & will not lead to positive change.
Attacking or threatening to attack a county supervisor doesn’t improve the system. It simply makes good, law abiding citizens who might otherwise step up to volunteer for civic service, less likely to do so. It makes out communities, state & country less safe & less civilized. 3/
