  This is an idea way past due. It's just a waste of time and money for each area to fight over crumbs. The next step will be having each town/city share resources, each city doesn't need it's own police/fire, road department, library system etc. Sharing saves ideas and projects saves time,energy and gives the taxpayer a break.

  This is wonderful in theory and yes, overdue. However, It is not going to happen. Brookings is very progressive in nature, futuristic, sets the pace for many progressive and well thought out sophisticated urban areas and Arizona is none of these things. The basic attitude on the street, the social and economic extremism, lack of social tolerance for "difference" will pre-empt these areas from ever working together. They like separatism, despite what may be the common best interest. The governor does not have a clue how much she has messed up this already backwards state.

  “This is an action agenda written, developed, owned, implemented by leaders in the Phoenix area."

  That list obviously does not include any of our State government officials who are part of the current majority.

  Thus far, all we've heard out of them is, "smaller government" (cost shifting to local governments like counties, cities, and towns) and "tax cuts" for nonexistent corporations.

  The people of Arizona want a good educational opportunites, good jobs, which will support of family (not three part time jobs with no benefits) and provide for a future, and they want affordable access to good healthcare...healthcare that doesn't rank 37th in the world and ranks number 1 in expense.

  Labor market weakness in the latest recession has been compounded by long-term changes in the supply and demand for labor. Education is the dividing line. get a real degree from a "High Speed Universities" on the web
