Brewer must GO

We should have done the GOP proposed tax CUTS

She a faux republican, a poser, a fake, and should be impeached. I think we pay enough taxes if they wanted to do something for the state then they should do something about the thousands and thousands of illegal immegrant child that we are educating in this country. And stop busing children over to our country to educate them. Remember the 40 million dollars that we are supposed to pay out to children who need to learn english?

How much does the ACC cost the state? Why not offer the voters the option of returning the commission to its original and very narrowly focused mission? That would save millions.

Then begin to cut the "ugly belly fat" of middle management in the Department of Education. That would save millions.

Ugly belly fat hanging over the belt of each state department should be trimmed.

Hire capable managers and support the front lines of each agency. Then we might right this ship Captain Brewer.

Not too long ago Brewer told a pirate story. She was the Captain of the ship Arizona and it was sinking.

Captain Brewer spoke glowingly of the August 11, 2009 WSJ article, 'Arizona's Budget Breakthrough, An alternative to California's tax and spend model.'

Seems Captain Brewer forgot about the contents of that article. Paragraph 3 and 4 contain the essence of a beautiful solution. A solution both sides (the pirates, aka democrats, and her crew, aka republicans) should consider carefully.

70 percent of voters believe the government should provide LESS SERVICES and LOWER TAXES. 88 percent of Republicans believe the same. 78 percent of independent voters and even 48 percent of Democratic voters want less services and lowers taxes.

And Governor Brewer essentially passes the largest property tax in history and keeps whining about her $3 billion tax increase on working families and blames "extremists" in both parties?

Brewer has got to go.

Eliminate all the overhead in the school systems. The voters might put you back at Sec. of State, but this is your only term as governor. We have honest Republican options that do not include you or John McCain.
