Let's call this what it is. It's a ban on humanitarian aid in @PhoenixParks.
There were far more compassionate ways to deal with the issue. @CityofPhoenixAZ intentionally dealt with it in a cruel way 😔
A new Phoenix ordinance, which prohibits unpermitted food distribution and medical treatment for homeless people in parks, takes effect today.
At the same time, a church group is suing the city over it, arguing it violates the Constitution.

Dear #AZMedia - what this SRP press headline SHOULD say, is that they OVER COLLECTED to the tune of $56MIL. The spin as a “rate decrease” is clever though. 🤮 SRP to Seek Temporary Summer Rate Decrease media.srpnet.com/srp-to-seek…
Cheering utility proposals before review damages trust and risks locking AZ into higher costs + fossil fuel dependence. We need transparent oversight, public input, & clean energy standards that put health, equity, & affordability first. 🔗 sot.ag/pFbJT

While @apsFYI runs around telling customers, stakeholder, and regulators “woe is us, we can’t help but raise rates because of the data centers,” it’s funding advocacy for more data centers. Classic. #energy #ai eenews.net/articles/when-a-b…
@AZPM reports data centers are straining U.S. power grids and water supplies. In #Arizona, where every drop counts, we can’t afford energy-hungry tech without clean power & smarter cooling. #AZClimate #WaterSecurity #CleanEnergy. sot.ag/pymJK
Just say no to bullies, whether here or in DC. This is reprehensible, but what we have come to expect. Sinema tells Chandler she's 'hand in glove' with Trump over AI data center azcentral.com/story/news/loc… via @azcentral
What kind of fresh gas plant hell is this? Last week, it was a new 700 MW plant & now @apsFYI is proposing 2000 MW. This is on top of SRP’s gas conversion at Coronado & Springerville & TEP’s too. ICYMI, we have a climate crisis. Meanwhile @CorpCommAZ fiddles. #climatecantwait

In powerful op-ed, @NMLandOffice writes that should @BLMNational rescind the popular #PublicLandsRule, it will "jeopardize rural communities that depend on the stability and long-term health of our great outdoors."

"...I will not let the EPA wriggle out of its commitment to fund solar energy projects that would lower costs for more than 11,000 Arizona households.” Thanks @AZAGMayes for defending solar 💲for cleaner air, lower bills, the climate. #SolarForAll

The Trump administration is denying the climate crisis by undermining the mission of agencies that protect clean air and water, and support clean energy deployment. Enough is enough- the Shutdown President must be held accountable. #CanceltheCuts #ShutdowntheClimateCrisis

PRESS RELEASE: Kuby, Garcia Decry Arizona Regulators Process to Repeal Utility Energy Efficiency Rules

Think of #Arizona PUBLIC Service (@apsFYI) as the evil, villain octopus. Tentacles everywhere all across the state, buying off everyone in their path & constantly raising our rates to enrich their shareholders. Life-saving utilities should NOT be profit-driven. #StopTheAPSGreed
I was going to go to the @CorpCommAZ today, but the air is too heavy with gas — & hot air from gas proponents, including @apsFYI. They want to tie our future to out-of-state volatile gas instead of clean home-grown affordable solar. Watch our rates go up up up! #No2Gas #Yes2Solar

Trump's EPA cut a $25M plan to bring solar power to Hopi homes. "I wish I could find a way to really help those that make this decision to understand what this kind of project means to a rural community, the Hopi Tribe and those households." sot.ag/pwyB4

Sierra Club's Arizona Chapter Director Sandy Bahr lives in Phoenix. She's deeply concerned about the climate change impacts her city and state are feeling, including extreme heat, extreme drought, and more intense wildfires.

The @CorpCommAZ’s misguided and short-sighted efforts to repeal the Renewable Energy Standard rules will harm our air, our water, and our health. These rules have helped to support significant development of clean, affordable solar and wind. ❤️🌞sierraclub.org/press-release…
