Lawmaker
Who Owns Short-Term
Rental Home Looks To
Block PV From
Enforcing
Regulations |
|
"Gilbert Republican
Sen. Warren Petersen
wants the attorney
general to
investigate an
ordinance passed by
Paradise Valley that
regulates short-term
home rentals, which
he says violates
state law, while the
lawmaker himself
owns a
million-dollar
luxury Airbnb
listing in Gilbert.
If Petersen’s
complaint is
successful in
striking down the
Paradise Valley
ordinance, it would
effectively block
other cities and
municipalities from
pursuing other
similar ordinances,
including in
Gilbert, where
Petersen’s Airbnb is
located. Petersen’s
listing, discovered
by Arizona Mirror,
goes for $557 a
night and can sleep
up to nine people,
according to the
listing by “Warren”
along with a photo
of the senator. In a
text message to the
Mirror, Petersen
said he doesn’t
believe it’s a
conflict of interest
to own an Airbnb
while also filing a
complaint with the
Attorney General’s
Office regarding
regulations of
short-term rentals" |

Shame
On Every
Republican Who Voted
To Sabotage
Arizona's Schools |
|
"It’s not surprising
that our leaders
finally broke down
and agreed to allow
the public schools
to spend money
that’s already
sitting in their
bank accounts –
money the
Legislature
appropriated last
June. What is
stunning is that 20
Republicans – 14 in
the House and six in
the Senate –
actually voted to
stiff the schools
and to heck with the
impact on the one
million Arizona
children who attend
them." |

Is Sen. Warren
Petersen An
Insurrectionist? |
|
"Petersen is a
driving force behind
the
Republican-backed
push to audit the
ballots from the
2020 election. He
signed off on
subpoenas ordering
the ballots to be
delivered for
inspection. It’s
still not clear who
exactly will audit
the results on
behalf of the Senate
and when it will
occur." |

Mesa Lawmaker Bullies Bisbee Over Plastic
Bag Ban |
|
State Sen. Warren Petersen, a
Mesa Republican, filed a complaint with the Arizona
attorney general Sept. 28 under a new state law that
lets any individual legislator try to overturn local
ordinances they say violate state law. He says that
Bisbee’s ban on plastic bags for the purchases
people make at stores goes against a law that he
helped pass last year. |

AZ Lawmaker Supports Stripping Voters Of
Right To Vote For U.S. Senators |
|
For 113 years, Americans have
been electing their U.S. senators. Now, one state
lawmaker says that's long enough. Sen. Warren
Petersen, a Republican from Gilbert, believes
lawmakers like himself should pick U.S. Senators
instead of the same voters who put him in office. |
