Arizona Republican chastises 'pathetic' GOP as midterm blowout hits home

Local Republican politicians appeared to be carrying lessons from their national mid-term shellacking back home to voters on Wednesday as officials delivered unexpected post-mortem party autopsies to audiences that weren’t expecting it. ProPublica reporter Jen Fifield caught an earful of harsh party introspection Wednesday at the Maricopa County supervisors meeting, when Republican Supervisor Thomas Galvin apparently declared he had had enough of the Republican Party’s election year deceptions to continue without addressing them. Galvin announced that his party's election lies had become so pr...

Valley roadways among the most dangerous in the nation, study says

Our roads in the Valley are some of the deadliest in the country, per a new traffic study. Why it matters: The analysis, conducted by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), could lead to new countermeasures to make our roads safer . MAG is a nonprofit dedicated to addressing regional challenges. It counts 28 Valley cities and towns, among other entities, as members. Driving the news: Last month, MAG presented its findings from an examination of 2020-24 traffic data, comparing it with 2014-19 data. The study found that roadway safety in the broader Valley — which includes parts of Pinal County — is bad and getting worse. By the numbers: Here's how the MAG area ranked out of 52 metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), which set policy for their regions. Photo: Maricopa Association of Governments Tucson, Memphis, Fresno and Tampa face similar traffic fatality issues, per MAG interim safety policy manager Maggie Wong. Zoom in: 30% of fatalities involved "vulnerable road users" — think cyclers and pedestrians — and 70% occurred on non-residential roadways. The Valley ranked poorly in pedestrian deaths, non-residential roadway deaths and intersection deaths. What they're saying: " Unfortunately, not many surprises," Wong tells Axios. "We know that
