There's a Cost to Gov. Doug Ducey's Tax and Regulation Cutting Agenda
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has come under criticism for his conservative tax and regulation cutting agenda, prompting an investigation by the Arizona Republic.
“There seems to be a general theme where Ducey has been able to use his position as governor to implement a number of changes in state policy that raise questions about whether the public interest is being served or whether narrower private or political interest are being served,” said John Pelissero, the senior scholar in government at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics of Santa Clara University. “What the government should be doing is looking out for the public interest — the citizens and the taxpayers — not private interests more specifically.”
