Dang, I am definitely running for a legislative office next time. If this is the toughest work these morons do, I'll be speaker of the senate in no time!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh....the "call" of the almost extinct, Arizona Chicken.
Upset because Arizona's Republican Legislature is tearing down Democrat Party Socialism...piece by piece by piece. The fast-food franchises that employ ...TENS OF THOUSANDS of workers in the State of Arizona are glad that these "CALIFORNIA COMMUNISM" laws are being struck down by our...."BUSINESS-FRIENDLY"...Administration.
Oh, I'm sorry...I am talking over the heads of Democrats and Liberals when I use words like.............WORK......and....BUSINESS.
Let's see if I can explain it to them....work = is when an Arizona citizen...EARNS...his/her....OWN...weekly check (it doesn't come in the mail from Uncle Sam automatically).
Business = is the company that hires workers who...EARN...their own paycheck.
I know these are concepts that will take the Democrats and Liberals some time to comprehend now that Americans all across our Great Nation have revolted against ....TAX AND SPEND DEMOCRAT PARTY BUDGETS WITH ...TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICITS FINANCED BY COMMUNIST CHINA.
CRADLE TO GRAVE DEMOCRAT/LIBERAL POLITICS ARE A THING OF THE PAST.........THE "WELFARE STATE" IS DEAD AND BURIED.
Just like the old Charles Swabb commercial.....IF AMERICANS WANT A PAYCHECK....THEY HAVE TO GET IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY = EARN IT.

The republican run Arizona government is by far the biggest collection of morons I ever see , second Arizona is the worst state in almost everything surpass only by some southern states, therefore I expect to see comments like the one above.
You elect monkeys you get peanuts in return.

Best line in the entire article:
“They do a crummy job of running cities for the most part,’’ he said. “I don’t know whether they think they have a better handle on how to run business.’’
It's not like Weiers and company is doing a great job running the state.

Do those idiots in the legislature even know that this state needs a budget, health care and jobs????

The legislators who complain about Washington getting involved in everything, sticking their noses is places they don't belong, and wasting taxpayer's dollars on frivolous activities and legislation have spoken! Now, lets see what they do about those nasty Burger King promotions.

There have been no reports of any Arizona community following suit. But the Arizona Restaurant Association and some franchise owners convinced Rep. Jim Weiers, R-Glendale, to make sure it stays that way.
Weiers told Capitol Media Services he was more than happy to oblige.
“Government needs to stay out of the way of free enterprise,’’ he said.
i can agree with that. lets get the 3 carrier groups out of the persian gulf and med. let the business interests in that region fend for themselves...
