The Game Isn't Over Yet

From the AP, in the Tucson Citizen. Arizona's budget cuts are making the national news:

The Tucson Citizen won't let the GOP get away with decreasing revenue and then claiming that they can't pay the bills:

Want to know how much you won't get paid next year? U of A releases its furlough FAQs:

ASU tries to accommodate cuts without destroying its institution:

Check out the previous post on their budget cut page. It gives a complete list of the programs to be cut.

Let's not forget that new cuts are on the table for 2010. If we think it's bad now, it can certainly get worse.

As Jan Brewer tours AZ, looking for support from voters for her 2010 campaign, remind her that jobs and education in Arizona are important to you. Ask her why she rushed to sign a budget so that she could go to the Superbowl on time. Ask her why she wants to cut taxes and lay off tax collectors when AZ needs that money to pay its bills (something she claims to care about). http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/local/109955.php

How dare she visit a school after slashing our education funding only a few weeks ago?

Call her office and ask:
