Fiscal Responsibility – Holding the Line

Scottsdale weathered the economic downturn better than any other city in the Valley due in large part to our steadfast fiscal responsibility.  We maintained a balanced budget by eliminating redundancy, inefficiency and waste while keeping taxes flat.  I am proud of the work I’ve done to keep our city in sound financial shape. But there is more work to be done…As Scottsdale continues to recover, it’s critically important that we maintain our fiscal respotnsibility.  We must restore funding to a few critical areas including capital improvements.  We must ensure that our bond rating remains high.  We must fulfill our commitment to provide “Best-in-Class” city services and public safety.  And, most importantly, we must continue keep our taxes low. It has been an honor to represent you the last four years and I hope to earn your vote on November 4.

Mark Brnovich proposes legislative fix to close Revolving Door loophole

Rotellini leaves regulator’s post to profit off insider knowledge

The State of Arizona and more than 31 fellow states have passed laws to prohibit public officials from leaving elected office and immediately lobbying the government body they just departed.

The reason for these so-called “cooling off” periods is simple: Elected officials shouldn’t see their time in public service as the setup for a private-sector payday. And taxpayers should have confidence that elected officials are representing the public’s interest while in office, not special interests.

In Arizona, State law prohibits legislators and public officers from lobbying for at least one year after leaving elected office. For at least two years, public officers may not disclose for personal gain any confidential information.

But there’s a gaping loophole in the law: The statute doesn’t apply to State regulators, the very individuals perhaps best positioned to game the system.

Once elected Attorney General, Mark Brnovich will propose legislation to extend the State “cooling off” statute for elected officials to top State regulators who serve in a supervisory and decision-making capacity.

Take the case of Felecia Rotellini. From 2006 to 2009, she was Superintendent of the State Banking Department (subsequently renamed the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions). According to the AZDFI website, the agency “is statutorily charged with licensing, supervision and regulation of State-chartered financial institutions and enterprises,” and ensures “the safety and soundness of the financial services industry in Arizona.”

Yet, after heading this organization for the better part of four years, Rotellini left in August 2009 and immediately went to work for local law firm Zwillinger, Greek & Knecht. The firm says it represents a range of “Fortune 100 and multinational corporations.” Rotellini promotes her services to banks, credit unions and other financial institutions this way:

“Ms. Rotellini is an expert in administrative law with her background as both a lawyer for state agencies and as the ultimate decision maker when she was the Superintendent of the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions. She provides advice and counsel to businesses and individuals regarding regulatory and administrative issues in a myriad of situations. She leads the firm’s administrative law practice and regularly guides businesses through licensing processes with state agencies and how to best respond to government examinations and inquiries.

“Ms. Rotellini brings her perspective as a former prosecutor and regulator to the representation of her clients, such as community banks and credit unions, mortgage and other financial services companies, and individual licensed professionals.  She is currently representing clients before professional licensing boards, in administrative disciplinary proceedings, and during investigations and enforcement actions by agencies such as the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions (ADFI), the Arizona Board of Appraisal, the Arizona Board of Accountancy and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.”

In other words, Rotellini was Arizona’s top regulator with the sole duty to serve as a watchdog over the banking industry and safeguard consumers. But she left State government in order to cash-in on that knowledge – immediately going to work for the very same banks and credit unions she had been entrusted to watch over.

“Arizona taxpayers are right to be sick of this kind of Revolving Door political gamesmanship. As a State regulator, Felecia Rotellini was entrusted to look after Arizona consumers. But now she uses her insider knowledge to help big banks cheat the system,” Brnovich said. “When I’m Attorney General, I’ll work with legislators and the Governor to close this loophole and make certain the lobbying ‘cooling off’ period for legislators is applied to top State regulators, as well.”

Bolick Challenges Meyer On Voting to Deny Life-Saving Treatments for Terminally Ill Patients

 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shawnna Bolick Responds to Sterilization Dispute, Challenges Meyer On Voting to Deny Life-Saving Treatments for Terminally Ill Patients

Phoenix, AZ- September 17, 2014- In classic guilt-by-association fashion, Rep. Eric Meyer (D-LD28) called on Republican nominee, Shawnna Bolick, to disavow former Sen. Russell Pearce’s controversial comments relating to sterilization of welfare recipients. 

　

"Of course I disavow the comments.  The idea is barbaric," said Bolick, an education advocate and mother of two school-aged children who won the Republican nomination to unseat Meyer.  "Eric is the big government advocate, not me."

　

"The real issue in this race is Eric Meyer’s obstructionist actions," Bolick continued, "For example, Eric Meyer needs to explain why he voted against sending the Right to Try referendum to Arizona voters." 

　

Right to Try will appear on the November ballot as Prop. 303.  It will allow terminally ill patients the right to access potentially life-saving drugs that have passed the safety phase of the FDA approval process. 

　

Right to Try was unanimously enacted this year in Missouri, Colorado and Louisiana, and signed into law by two Democratic governors and one Republican. It also passed in Arizona.  Eric Meyer voted no! Why would Eric Meyer block anyone from receiving potentially life-saving treatment?

Meyer is the only physician-legislator in the entire country so far to oppose Right to Try. 

Bolick strongly supports Right to Try.  "Meyer would not even give Arizonans the opportunity to vote for life-saving medication," Bolick said.  "Every terminally ill person should have the right to try to save or extend their lives."

ABOUT SHAWNNA:

Shawnna Bolick has lived in Legislative District 28 for 13 years.  Shawnna and her husband, Clint, have two children, Ryne (12) and Kali (9), plus their six year old rescued greyhound, Beary Goldwater.

She is endorsed by Senator Jon Kyl, former Congressmen John Shadegg, Congressman David Schweikert, State Senator Adam Driggs, Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery, Maricopa County Supervisor Andy Kunasek, Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane, Phoenix Council members Jim Waring, Bill Gates and Sal DiCiccio.

Arizona Correctional Police Officers Association Endorses

Mark Brnovich for Attorney General

Today, GOP nominee for Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced he has been endorsed by the Arizona Correctional Police Officers Association (AZCPOA).  The AZCPOA represents thousands of correctional officers, civilian employees, medical and other support personnel across all 15 Arizona counties.

In offering the endorsement, Executive Director Tixoc Munoz said: “In 2010, AZCPOA supported the Democratic nominee for Attorney General. But, this year, we are proud to endorse Mark Brnovich for Arizona’s top cop. Mark has a strong background as a prosecutor at the local, state and federal level. Unlike his opponent, Mark has tried criminal cases and prosecuted violent felons. He understands the unique pressures and dangerous situations faced by correctional officers and civilian employees. We know Mark Brnovich will always have our back.”

“I’m honored to receive this endorsement from the Arizona Correctional Police Officers Association,” said Brnovich. “As a criminal prosecutor, I spent years working in the trenches with police and investigators. As the director of a law enforcement agency, I fought for pay raises for my officers, and got them new equipment when they needed it. No one will fight harder for rank-and-file police officers and first responders than I will.”

Raised in Arizona, Mark Brnovich is a graduate of Arizona State University. After law school, Mark prosecuted felonies in the Gang/Repeat Offender Bureau of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and worked as an Assistant Attorney General for Arizona and as Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona.

Polls show us leading in this race, the grassroots have engaged, and we've got real momentum on our side. But our opponent started with a million dollar lead and is already attacking us relentlessly. That's why we need your help -- right now -- to defend our conservative values and hold our lead!

Will you stand with us by making your contribution to this race between now and midnight?

With thanks in advance --

Mark Brnovich Denounces Insensitive Comments Towards Women Made by Russell Pearce

"Recent comments made by Russell Pearce regarding the forced sterilization of women are unrepresentative of the Republican Party I know. The notion that government would force sterilization upon anyone is counter to everything I believe about individual liberty and contrary to the founding principles of a free nation.

"My family knows something about government tyranny. In the 1950s, my mother fled the horrors of communism in Yugoslavia, and her first-hand experiences have helped shape my core beliefs in a government that is effective, efficient and limited.

"Comments that demean the plight of the poor, including women in the dual role of mother and economic provider, are not conservative; they’re cruel. And I reject them. It is one of the great failings of the Obama administration and, truthfully, our society as a whole, that so many in our nation have grown dependent upon government subsidy and support. But the path to self-sufficiency lies in economic opportunity and personal responsibility, not shame."
