☆ Why Is America Still Flying the A-10 Warthog, a Cold War Relic?

Every day, teams of technicians at a vast Air Force base in Tucson, Ariz., tend to a fleet of attack jets the Pentagon has been trying to retire for more than a decade. They have picked replacement parts from the base’s famous “Boneyard,” where old military planes go for scrap, which stretches far into the surrounding desert. The Air Force has said for years that the A-10 jets, nicknamed Warthogs for their bulky silhouette and toughness in a fight, have passed their prime and will be vulnerable in the wars of the future. The production line where they were made fell silent in the mid-1980s, and the average A-10 here is four decades old. Its job can be done by newer, more advanced planes, the Air Force says.
☆ Arizona Fight Over Half-Cent Sales Tax Threatens Semiconductor Expansion

PHOENIX—A fight in Arizona over a half-cent sales tax that funded much of the highway system is creating a rift between some Republicans and the business community and threatening to impede the operation of a major semiconductor project. The four-decade-old tax funds most transportation and infrastructure projects in Maricopa County, which gained more residents than any other in the U.S. last year. The tax is set to finish at the end of 2025 unless state lawmakers approve a plan to renew it that would go before voters on next year’s ballot.
☆ Secretive Society Keeps Watch Over Arizona’s Holy Grail of Cactus

PIMA COUNTY, Ariz.—Millions of saguaro cactuses grow in the Sonoran Desert, yet only an estimated one in 200,000 exhibits the spectacular crown of the crested saguaro. Its rare beauty spawned the needle-in-a-haystack mission of Arizona’s secretive Crested Saguaro Society. With the zeal of birders, the society’s 10 members are out to find as many of the crested saguaro as time and energy allow. They hunt in a desert that stretches across 100,000 or so square miles.
☆ In Arizona, Home Builders Fight to Show There’s Enough Water for New Residents

BUCKEYE, Ariz.—Earth movers were grading the scraped desert in this city 40 miles west of Phoenix one day last month in preparation for construction of the first 1,100 homes in a master-planned community called Teravalis. Developer Howard Hughes Corp. last year spent $600 million to buy 37,000 acres in a valley flanked by two mountain ranges. It plans to build 100,000 homes over the next half-century, along with 55 million square feet of offices and other commercial real estate—the largest such project in state history, according to the developer.
☆ Thousands of Students Seek $7,000 Payments Under Arizona Voucher Law
  + stars: | 2022-11-14 | by ( Alicia A. Caldwell | Ben Chapman | Photographs Ash Ponders For The Wall Street Journal | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Thousands of Arizona students have applied to the nation’s largest voucher program, which allows any child in the state to receive $7,000 each year of their K-12 education while receiving instruction at home or attending private school, state data shows. A Republican-led legislature passed a law earlier this year expanding the state’s voucher program, officially known as the Empowerment Scholarship Account, and Republican Gov. Doug Ducey signed it in July. The expansion will make Arizona’s school-voucher program the nation’s most expensive, according to researchers who study the topic.
☆ Kari Lake Unites Many Arizona Republicans After Party’s Earlier Divisions Over Trump

PHOENIX—Kari Lake, the Republican candidate in the Arizona governor’s race, has taken many pages from former President Donald Trump’s campaign playbook. She repeats his false claims of rampant fraud in the 2020 election. She attacks the legacy of the late Arizona GOP senator, John McCain . And she has made the media a favorite foil, even though she spent 22 years as an anchor for a local news station.
