• I have a problem with our LOCAL NEWS OUTLET using Associated Press reporting this rather than have an actual TRIBUNE "reporter" WRITING a news item on this. This is right next to the Sr. Parking LOT at CHANDLER High School. I have to read about this on the only outlet in a population of 4 million, AZFamily, that is reporting this. This is an example of what is WRONG with the LOCAL news media.

• Jon was recalled during the first year as mayor of FH. According to news reports, Jon couldn't get along with council. Jon has refused to address this. Were his constituents "wacky". I personally do not enjoy reading his "musings".

• This is awful. Christiane embodies the opposite of those journalistic "values". I wish Crow and his wife (both who score a total of 1 MILLION/yr salary) would GO. The educational value of ASU has gone down as the tuition has skyrocketed.

• David, If they are working here, and they are illegal, they are breaking all kinds of LAWS. FELONY ID THEFT, FRAUD (FELONY FALSE ID), tax evasion.... American Citizens have to follow THE LAW, The Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution protects citizens from having LAWS enforced on one group, and letting another group bypass. Don't FORGET the Selective Service registration, which a MAJORITY of Illegal Immigrants DO NOT fill out. According to the SS LAW, any alien, unless on a student visa or covered by TREATY, HAS to fill out SS Registration in age range of 18-26, if here more than ONE YEAR. IF they don't during that period and are either that age range OR have been here during that age period and DID NOT follow the SS LAW, they CAN NOT GET: Federal Assistance, Student Loans, Federal Jobs and MAY NOT get Citizenship. The fastest way to become a citizen of this Country, if here illegally, is to JOIN the military. Not a better way to prove you WANT to become a citizen and NOT break laws nor milk the system. My kids have to follow SS rules, AND have to have filed Income TAX (and parents as well) to even fill out STUDENT FAFSA. Again, WHY should the rules and laws of the this Country and STATE be rewarded to those whom IGNORE the LAWS and Sovereignty?

• Most donors to the recall: OUTSIDE LD18, and HUGE amounts from out of state. $141,000. Ten dollars a signature. With all the local MSM cheerleading for the recall group (Parraz/Snow-job) and Lewis campaign, they didn't need to PAY for publicity. Where are the in-kind donations on their reports from the Local Wags at AZ Republic, New Times, This paper, and TV media?
