The Republican Legislature’s challenge of the governor’s line-item veto regarding part of the state employee pay raises -was ruled unconstitutional by the Arizona Supreme Court yesterday.Although it is said the provision affected a small portion of employees having to do with salary range and state merit system coverage - the ruling was crucial in setting a precedent with a clear message.Gubernatorial power is to be respectfully used. When working outside those powers courts provide a process to bring justice. To continue with unauthorized power would further alienate state government relationships; establishing a sense of intolerance and exploitation. Working together, building concensus, sharing ideas, finding answers to the issues we face as a state - will go a long way toward a thriving Arizona. Electing Len Munsil as Governor of Arizona will usher in a breath of fresh air. Vote in November for Munsil!
