Arizona Capitol Times reported that as the deadline for Arizona to produce an internal agreement on water reductions nears, the state’s water interests have nothing to show for their efforts yet. Inking an internal agreement and getting legislative approval is the final step before the state can sign onto the Drought Contingency Plan with the six other Colorado River basin states and Mexico.

Patrick McWhorter, Arizona campaign director for Open Primaries, wrote in the Arizona Capitol Times that a recent study (Gamechangers?) published by Morrison Institute for Public Policy at ASU focused on the largest group of registered voters in our state, and highlighted one essential fact – their numbers have grown from 11 percent in 1992 to 37 percent today

Cronkite News reported that despite record-setting numbers in the November midterm election, policy experts  expect a trend toward split-ticket voting, where people choose by candidate rather than party, to continue.

Arizona Republic editor Phil Boas wrote that Phoenix-area artists will soon tell the story of the ancient Huhugam people, who thrived in this place hundreds of years before air conditioning.

The Scottsdale Independent reported that Esperança, a Phoenix-based nonprofit whose mission is to improve health and restore hope both locally and globally, announced David Schlinkert as its newest volunteer on the board of directors.

U.S. News & World Report reported that the midterm election results say more about where different categories of people live. And trends in voting among groups say a lot about where the futures of the two main political parties are going.

The Arizona Republic reported that progress is being made in the Arizona Department of Water Resources and the Central Arizona Project discussions that will lead to Arizona’s Drought Contingency Plan, but much remains to be worked out.
