Capital Watch for 13 May
Capitol Watch is our weekly legislative update video series, watch the latest episode here!
Vetoed Sex-Education Bill Back in the AZ Legislature. Earlier this session we discussed SB1456, a restrictive bill that used language that was anti-LGBTQ and could lead to parents taking their children out of important sex education conversations all together. After it was passed in the Legislature, Governor Doug Ducey vetoed the bill, citing that the bill was unnecessary and was fixing something that did not need to be fixed.
Unfortunately, the language in SB1456 has been brought back into the legislature. Now, HB2035 contains almost exact verbiage as the terrible anti-sex ed bill that was vetoed just over a week ago. The bill prohibits all forms of gender identity and expression within sex-education courses, as well as requires parental consent for historical events involving LGBTQ+ events like the Stonewall Riots in 1969. Despite the language being vetoed by the Governor, it is still plausible for this extremely complicated and unnecessary bill to be passed through the legislature another time.
SCR 1044 passes out of the AZ House of Representatives! SCR 1044 has passed, which means it will officially be seen on ballots in the 2022 elections. This initiative will decide whether Arizona Dreamers will be able to receive in-state tuition at public universities and colleges. This is a *very* exciting win for DREAMers and is a big step for immigrants in the state of Arizona.
Join us at our End the Filibuster Rally! We need Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Sen. Mark Kelly to listen to Arizonans–eliminate the filibuster so that we can pass all of the popular legislation constituents want! We will gather at Civic Space Park in Downtown Phoenix to send our Senators a BIG message that Arizonans demand an end to the filibuster–no excuses! The Rally will be held Thursday, May 20th from 5:30-7:00pm. Find more information here!
Workers Rights and Unions: Youth Organizing Event! Arizona Coalition for Change is hosting an event on Tuesday May 18th at 6:30-7:30pm. RSVP for the event here to learn more about the rights young people have and the power of working class communities in the state.
Arizona 411 is a weekly newsletter to give you a weekly recap on what’s happening at the state legislature.

Just Stay
…..
Just Stay
A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.
“Your son is here,” she said to the old man.
She had to repeat the words several times before the patient’s eyes opened.
Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man’s limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.
The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lightedward, holding the old man’s hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile.
He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital – the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.
Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.
Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.
Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.
“Who was that man?” he asked.
The nurse was startled, “He was your father,” she answered.
“No, he wasn’t,” the Marine replied. “I never saw him before in my life.”
“Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?”
“I knew right away there had been a mistake,
but I also knew he needed his son, and his
son just wasn’t here.
When I realized that he was too sick to tell
whether or not I was his son,
knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.”
I came here tonight to
find a Mr. William Grey.
His Son was Killed in Iraq
today, and I was sent to
inform him. What was this
Gentleman’s Name?
The Nurse with Tears in
Her Eyes Answered,
Mr. William Grey………….
The next time someone needs you …. just be there. Stay.

Kyrsten Sinema United States Senator – Arizona
Dear Mr. Hamster:
Thank you for contacting me about infrastructure investment. I always appreciate hearing from Arizonans about issues facing our state and country. It is important that we have conversations about topics that matter to you and your family, and I hope you will continue to reach out to me and share your perspectives and suggestions.
America’s schools, roads, bridges, water facilities, broadband, and energy systems are all examples of our nation’s infrastructure. Due to age, postponed maintenance, changes in demand, and rapidly changing technology, infrastructure throughout Arizona and across the country needs repair, renovation, and expansion. In 2020, the American Society of Civil Engineers found traffic delays caused by inadequate infrastructure cost our economy over $170 billion. As of 2018 in Arizona, 43 percent of roads were in poor or mediocre condition and 40 percent of urban highways experienced congestion. Poorly maintained roads cost Arizona drivers $3 billion per year in extra vehicle costs, which amounts to around $575 per driver, and the Arizona Department of Transportation has identified nearly 1,800 bridges across the state that require repairs.
President Joe Biden proposed the $2.25 trillion American Jobs Plan (AJP) on March 31, 2021 to address the nation’s infrastructure needs. The plan focuses on four categories of infrastructure: transportation, infrastructure to support residential areas, workforce development, and caregiving needs.
The AJP calls for approximately $621 billion for transportation infrastructure, including $115 billion to repair highways and bridges, which will fund reconstruction projects for 10 major and 10,000 smaller bridges across the country, $85 billion for public transit, $80 billion for passenger and freight rail, and $174 billion to promote the development and use of electric vehicles. The plan also includes funding for airports, water transit, ports, and infrastructure resiliency. For infrastructure related to the home, the plan allocates $650 billion, including $111 billion for clean drinking water, $100 billion for broadband deployment, $100 for billion electrical infrastructure, $213 billion for housing, and $137 billion for early learning centers, schools, and community colleges. The AJP devotes $580 billion to research and development, workforce development, and manufacturing, and $400 billion for home and community-based care for elderly and disabled people.
To pay for these investments, the American Jobs Plan would enact several changes to the U.S. tax code. The plan would increase the corporate tax rate to 28 percent from 21 percent, partially reversing the reduction from 35 percent signed into law in 2017. Companies would also have to pay an increased minimum tax of at least 15 percent on the net profits reported to investors if they otherwise paid little to no income tax due to legal tax breaks. The 15 percent minimum tax would only be imposed on companies with annual incomes of $2 billion or more, which the Treasury Department estimates would affect an estimated 45 companies in the United States. Other tax changes in the proposal intend to discourage companies from offshoring their headquarters, jobs, or facilities solely for tax advantages. In a separate plan, the president proposed increasing the marginal tax rate to 39.6 percent from the current rate of 37 percent for individuals making more than $452,700 a year and married couples earning over $509,300 a year.
Supporters of the American Jobs Planbelieve the plan makes critical investments in current and future infrastructure needs and will make the United States more efficient and globally competitive. Critics of the plan argue the significant spending will be wasted on projects unrelated to infrastructure that will not encourageeconomic recovery or spur growth and may cause dangerous inflation, and that it contains social policies that will make the United States less competitive. Opponents also state that increasing taxes will hurt American workers and hinder economic growth and competitiveness, especially as businesses recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. While the president’s proposal can be helpful in conveying his priorities, it is not a binding document or legislation, and it is Congress’s constitutional authority to allocate funding. Legislation similar to the American Jobs Plan has not been introduced in the United States Senate.
Given high unemployment levels across the country, low interest rates, and clear need, now is a compelling time to sustainably invest in infrastructure that makes our state and country globally competitive. Investing in our nation’s infrastructure, including broadband access and water infrastructure, two areas of critical importance for Arizona, can immediately put people back to work, relieve the burden on state unemployment systems, and prepare our communities for future crises, including pandemics. I also believe we must modernize and simplify our tax code to reward innovation and encourage global companies to bring their business here. I am working with the administration, with Arizonans, and with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to developbipartisan infrastructure legislation that sustainably and responsibly addresses our state’s needs, promotes health and safety, and creates more opportunities for Arizonans to get ahead.
Thank you for sharing your view on this issue with me. Please do not hesitate to contact our office with any future questions or comments.

Kyrsten Sinema
