George Will: Governor Doug Ducey Turning Arizona Into an 'Oasis of Liberty'
George Will, apparently reading the local papers while in town for spring-training games, has decided that Governor Doug Ducey is the new Mr. Conservative.
In his nationally syndicated column on Monday, Will wrote that Ducey is a modern-day Barry Goldwater, turning Arizona into an "oasis of liberty."
Say what? The governor who helped raise millions to keep marijuana a felony in Arizona, and who just last week signed a law that weakens direct democracy in the state, is all about liberty?
In fact, despite a few arguably anti-liberty moves, the former Cold Stone Creamery CEO and State Treasurer does generally wake up on the right side of bed, so to speak.
Just ask Arizona teachers: Ducey told them he wanted to give them a raise. Then, in his proposed budget, he offered a mere four-tenths of a percent raise for next year. His office cited low state revenues as the reason for the lowball proposal.
