2007 State Budget Win For AZ Families

GROE NOTE: I do not agree with this perspective from the AZ Department of Commerce, a bloated government agency, but am including this press release to highlight a different perspective.

This week, the legislature passed and Governor Janet Napolitano signed into law Arizona’s budget for fiscal year 2007. It is a win for Arizona families, especially when it comes to jobs.

As you know, the scientific research, technology and innovation are keys to the future of the Arizona economy. This budget includes the $35 million 21st Century Fund, proposed by the Governor in her State of the State as Innovation Arizona. Its goal is to attract world-class researchers, accelerate the state’s technology market and bring innovative products to market. The result will be more high-paying jobs for Arizonans, and that will expand industrial growth and increase Arizona’s prosperity.

The Arizona Department of Commerce looks forward to the strong statewide collaboration in this endeavor. It will certainly move Arizona forward.
