Recall election going on in Arizona where State Senator Russell Pearce who was the architect of SB 1070 the anti-Hispanic legislation, at the time the harshest in the nation is in a close race. As a part of his strategy he corralled Olivia Cortes to run in order to draw votes from his main competitor, Republican Jerry Lewis who is a moderate.

The election is Nov. 8.
Carl DeMaio is headed to Texas …. To study job creation!!! Hey vato you don’t need to go to Texas, what about all this talk about cutting back on spending… doesn’t it start at home.

Maybe the real agenda is to find out how much more can be taken away from city employees, could be pensions aren’t enough for DeMaio???
