Hi,

I'm sure many of you have been following the Health Care Reform legislation moving through Congress. Well, according to a whip count done by The Hill [h/t DailyKos], Harry Mitchell is undecided on whether he'll support the bill being brought to the House floor.

Please call Congressman Mitchell and urge him to support the HCR bill being brought to the House floor. Contact info after the fold.

The Pima County Republican Party, the Tucson Association of Realtors, the Southern Arizona Home builders Association, and the Tucson Police Officers and Firefighters Associations are the principle sponsors of the Public Safety First Initiative (akaProp. 200) which will appear on the City of Tucson November ballot.

The initiative seeks to compel and make mandatory staffing goals for police and fire personnel that the Tucson City Council has already approved in 2006 as part of a 10-year plan. The City Council had to put that plan on hold in 2008 because of the current economic recession and steep decline in tax revenues to pay for it.
