March 31 Show: Randy Miller, Director, Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, Discuss Two Proposed Amendments to the State Constitution that are Destructive to Liberty and Accountability of Government

Brian Sussman discusses the Arizona State Constitution with Randy Miller, Director, Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, two proposed State Constitution amendments that were never intended and are contradictory to the intentions of government.

These two bills, one HCR 2039, by Joe Chaplik asking voters to amend our state constitution to allow a state of emergency to be declared but limiting it to 30 days. This is absurd! The constitution does not allow for a state of emergency to be called now and every day we lived through COVID was a violation of our rights. Neither the governor nor the legislature has constitutional authority to declare an emergency.  Yet, now the republicans say its’ okay; lets violate every legal function of government, but limit it of 30 days?  Our rights have no exceptions because the governor or legislature believes they have an emergency.

The second bill by Mesnard, SCR1034, wants us to amend the constitution to take any responsibility off the legislators to cut spending, stop out of control government and just continue a previous budget because they cannot come to an agreement? This is irresponsible and not representative government. Do not allow this garbage to go forward. The voters of Arizona need to understand the consequences of heading down a path that ignores the Constitution.
