Economy, education top concerns for LD12 candidates

GOODYEAR -- Legislative District 12 candidates for the Arizona House and Senate met Tuesday night for a debate that was dominated by concerns regarding education, development and the faltering economy.

The Republicans, led by state Senate candidate and current state Rep. John Nelson (R-Goodyear), proposed a program of spending cuts to balance the state budget, along with lower taxes and less government interference in commerce. The Democrats largely favored cuts as well, though focused more on what should be left off the budgetary chopping block than what should be put on it.
