A Radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air. A Conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward. A Reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards. A Liberal is a man who uses his legs and his hands at his behest, at the command, of his head. - Franklin Roosevelt

Legislative effort to clean Phoenix air comes to head

The Arizona Republic

PHOENIX - A push by some lawmakers and Gov. Janet Napolitano to take new steps to clean the Phoenix area's dirty air is coming to a head as the multipronged measure is prepared for formal consideration later this week.

Initially a sweeping array of anti-pollution steps mostly targeting particulates and ozone, the bill introduced by Republican Sen. Carolyn Allen of Scottsdale was immediately gutted early in the legislative session.

However, following months of behind-the-scenes negotiations by state officials, health advocates, industry representatives and others, numerous provisions would be restored or added under a proposed large amendment that is tentatively scheduled to be considered by a House-Senate conference committee on Thursday.
