Statement by U.S. Senator Jon Kyl Regarding Arizona’s Economy
George W. Bush ^ | June 21, 2004

WASHINGTON, DC—U.S. Senator Jon Kyl issued the following statement:

“Arizona’s economy added more than 8,400 new jobs last month and our unemployment rate has dropped below the national average to 5.1 percent. The facts show Arizona’s economy is strong and growing stronger, but John Kerry is traveling the nation on his pessimism and misery tour and talking about the Great Depression. Kerry voted against the President’s historic tax relief that is helping fuel Arizona’s economic recovery and his cynical rhetoric talking down our economy isn’t going to create any new jobs.

“When President Bush signed the Healthy Forests legislation to help prevent fires that can devastate states like Arizona, John Kerry compared it to taking a ‘chainsaw to our public forests.’ Now that Kerry is visiting the West this week, he says he supports a lot of the Healthy Forests initiative and wants a ‘strong’ logging industry. It will be difficult for Arizonans to decide which John Kerry to believe.

“Kerry’s changing position on Healthy Forests comes in the wake of him shifting with the political winds on other important issues. Kerry voted for sending our troops to war in Iraq and then voted against $87 billion in funding for essential gear like body armor after previously saying that opposing the funding would be ‘irresponsible.’ Kerry is attacking the Patriot Act and the No Child Left Behind Act despite voting for both of them, and he can’t even decide whether his SUV belongs to him or his family. Arizona needs a strong and decisive leader, not someone who bases his views on politics and changes them depending on his audience.”

Actually, Senator Kyl is the only one we have.

The other is too busy playing politics on the national stage.

Unfortuantly, Arizona's population just keeps growing uncontrollably, which is just places greater and greater strain on limitied infracture and resources. Yhe state will go bust big time in time, just like Calif. will sooner.

It could be worse.. you could be from Massachusetts.
There they have one senator who shows up drunk, and another who doesn't show up at all.
