Terry, if you don't know, was long-time Phoenix mayor when Democrats couldn't get elected to dog catcher. He is an unabashed, fighting Democrat who took down the famous "Phoenix 40" by bringing a district system to the Phoenix city council which elected 3 Latinos and 1 African-American that year.
He became Arizona's HUD Director in the Clinton years and then got elected to Attorney General in 2002. Rumors are that he will succeed Governor Janet Napolitano in 2010.
Many crimes can be directly linked to meth. While most of the meth that is sold in our state comes from Mexico, a significant portion is made in make-shift labs in our very own neighborhoods, in various communities throughout the state. In 2004, there were 134 meth-lab related seizures in Arizona. Lab accidents and explosions are common. Children, neighbors, and first responders are often exposed to the chemicals used to produce the drug, which include ether, acetone, red phosphorous, battery acid, and drain cleaner.
