Just read a transcript on meeting among @POTUS and National Governors Association. It's truly interesting how cordial and polite @GOP governors are with the president when talking with him face-to-face, especially when they want federal help for COVID. Hmmm.

PUBLIC BLOCKED FROM THE PEOPLES HOUSE. Senator Fann is refusing to allow Teachers who are guests of Democratic members into the gallery today. In the past Republican guests have been allowed inside. What are they afraid of?

Gov. @dougducey , a millionaire who sent his kids to private school, repeatedly refused to answer questions from the media on whether he would raise the state's $240 weekly unemployment benefit, second lowest in the country. He ignored a question whether he could live on that.

I so look forward to @FannKfann , Eddie Farnsworth & lawmakers who made demands for private information of Maricopa County voters to be as equally aggressive in responding to public records requests. I’m curious if Ben Franklin Charter will turn over all of its financial records.

Hearing @ArizonaDES is so overwhelmed with phone calls that @dougducey agency is cutting off callers and not even allowing them to wait for an agent. Government at the speed of business? Or, just The Arizona Way.
