TERRY GODDARD SPEAKS TO TVVDC
TERRY GODDARD SPEAKS TO TVVDC
On Saturday, January 30, 2010 The TVVDC held a very successful general meeting to start the new year. Chairman Joe Theobald introduced the guest of honor Terry Goddard, who has just recently announced his candidacy for Governor of AZ. Approximately 71 people were present at Steve Larson’s home for a light lunch and to meet and greet some of the other Democratic campaigners as well. Terry spoke of the situation at the state capitol and joked that although the Legislature decided to sell State buildings to help with the budget, his two offices as Attorney General were not even considered, which shows what poor condition they are in. He went on to talk about some of the changes he will make in the system when he is elected. He was informative and casual and gave those present, the definite impression that he has the know-how and experience to do the job.
It has been a tough ecomonic cycle for AZ- years ago when we had the building boom, and a surplus, the people were polled and they said clearly to keep the surplus, fill the rainy day fund to the top and use the rest to invest in Az schools and infrastructure. The Republican dominated legislature decided instead to give the money back in the form of corporate tax cuts. This Republican leadership team cannot think or plan for the future. Terry Goddard has the experience and know-how to bring jobs and stability to our state. The jobs program he created when Mayor is still successful and working. This guy knows how to get things done.
