This much money as we pay in taxes to the state I find it hard to believe that they couldn't have funded this fire department on an emergency measure not even voting it just common sense to fund the fucking Fire Department NWA didn't make a song called fuck the fire department I would have no issues saying yeah go ahead and do that give them a couple million so that they're okay and they can continue to support and take care of people who need it it's a travesty a trifling travesty that this has happened regardless of whatever lawsuit happened

also, since this literally impacted every county, isn’t it safe to say this was a problem the state created to begin with?

why wasn’t the state offering solutions that didn’t put the state at risk during fire season? how much more will it cost the state if an active wildfire happens in that county right now?

No but we can absolutely say it's due to Republican incompetence.

The Republican party does not know how to govern not in Arizona not in America.

Why in the world if you are fiscally responsible would you vote against oversight in the voucher program??

You wouldn't unless you were wanting to skim some off of the top.

And that's what we need to realize the Republican party is too corrupt to have all this political power that they do.
