(State Capitol, Phoenix ) – Recognizing her strong commitment to rural Arizona , the County Supervisors Association of Arizona named State Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, an “Outstanding Legislator” in a ceremony Friday, Dec. 18.
“Sen. Allen has a keen understanding of the important role that counties play in state government,” said CSA President and Coconino County Supervisor Liz Archuleta. “She has been a strong voice for rural Arizona at the State Legislature and continues to be a champion for the rural counties in her district.”
Sen. Allen was grateful for the recognition. “I am and will always be a proud supporter of counties,” she said. “I have always believed that local government is more efficient and accountable to the taxpayers than the state or federal government.”
President Archuleta singled out Allen for her support of legislation granting counties greater flexibility to manage their operations, resulting in needed savings during this difficult financial downturn. Allen has also consistently supported counties against legislative attempts to unfairly shift state costs and responsibilities to county governments.
“Now, more than ever, rural Arizona needs strong representation at the State Capitol,” said Archuleta. “We’re grateful that Sen. Allen provides that representation.”
The County Supervisors Association is a non-profit organization that advocates for Arizona ’s 15 counties at the State Legislature. For more than 25 years, CSA has served as a non-partisan forum for county officials to address important issues facing local constituents, providing a mechanism to share information and to develop a proactive state and federal policy agenda.
The counties too are only 6000 years old …
That pretty much sums up the problem with politics — people keep propping up the crazy just because they can squeeze a single special-interest vote out of them.
Nice one County Supervisors. You are known by the company you keep.
Here are two fine examples of the failure of public schools…
Congratulations Senator Allen Thank you for your fine example of holding true to conservative principles and protecting rural Arizona.
Interesting how the bashing continues. Sarka obviously knows nothing and likes being ignorant. Senator Allen and her family have lived in Nothern Arizona since it was settled back in the 1800′s. Does Sarka claim to know the issues? Or does he live at 24th and Van Buren? The north is beautiful “because of” the people that live there and understand the real issues. Not carpet baggers like Sarka that chide you if you believe in God. The people in
Senator Allens family have lived up there for close to 150 years and are the real environmentalists. Not nut job Carpet Baggers like Robin Silver and Sarka who don’t have a clue about the environment. Lets shut down the forest to save the Mexican Spotted Owl. So you shut down all the forests and most of it the owls don’t even live in. It’s called “exteme-ism”….just it down, burn it down, just don’t let human hands touch it…..
Nuff Said….

How old is Senator Allen then?
