The $1 billion budget deficit is now $2 billion? Well, who cares about pesky state financial problems when the Junket Committee has an all-expenses paid junket to take? I'll be waiting for the leaked photos like the Berlin party pics.

Does anyone know any more information on this annual junket to Israel? I recall my then state House Rep (D) going and I wondered then…how long have they been paying for this? How many state legislators have attended and at what cost? How many other state houses is this company arranging trips to Israel for? Where are they getting their money from?

Regarding the story about the feud between Lake and Meagan McCain. I think Lake and her staff are smoking something if they people will believe that a nicer, gentler Lake is coming forward. Lake has been a witch bitch and continues to be.

Sorry if I'm confused here, but when do state judges ever need approval from the U.S. Senate? Today's edition seemed to imply that there may be cases in which the U.S. Senate approves or consents to state judges. Were you trying to say that Hobbs doesn't need the AZ Legislature to approve her picks for the AZ judiciary, unlike the procedure at the federal level?

I think our state legislature might have its priorities misplaced jetting off to Israel in the middle of a session in which a desperate GOP majority is trying to pass a last hurrah of terrible legislation and we are facing a $1.7 Billion deficit here at home. I also question the utility and balance of a first-hand look at the Gaza crisis if the lawmakers are only going to Israel. They are hardly going to get any sort of objective view of the matter this way. If they were headed into Gaza to see the dire humanitarian crisis for themselves, that could be valuable, but visiting Israel merely to be propagandized in the Israeli perspective is, in my view, not a good use of valuable and limited session time. This seems like a vanity project and not of any utility to the state of Arizona.

Is there a list to see which House members are attending the junket? Thanks, just checking on my representative.
