Maybe its a “shadowy” group of ex-Californians who fled high-tax high regulation California for low-tax low regulation Arizona and are using the obscene profits generated to pick off one bad law and one bad politician at a time.

Here’s a new headline for Jer and the Bee

“Public Employee Unions Support Tax Increases So That they Can Continue to Bribe Officials By Contributing to Those with Whom they Negotiate their Contracts.”

Probably exactly that. I haven't contributed to them but you've described my situation pretty well.
