Arizona House OKs religious-protection measure

Submitted by ONE Community on May 16, 2013 - 2:03pm

Supporters of a bill that would change the state’s religious-protection law say it would strengthen Arizonans’ ability to defend their “practice or observance of religion.”

But critics of the legislation, particularly in the gay and transgender community, say it’s so broadly worded that it could have dangerous implications, particularly in providing a legal defense for those who ignore state law or city ordinances meant to protect groups such as same-sex couples and transgender individuals from discrimination.

Let Joe Know: Local businesses come to the rescue of Phoenix couple after car accident

Submitted by ONE Community on May 7, 2013 - 3:22pm

Esther and John Rosenberger have lived in Phoenix for decades.

John Rosenberger is a disabled veteran who was injured in Vietnam. He was honored with a Purple Heart for his service there.

The couple relies heavily on their van for doctor's appointments and for everyday needs.

But earlier this year, John's wife Esther made a wrong turn while driving their van along 7th Avenue in Phoenix. She steered the car onto the light rail tracks.

No one was injured, but the accident meant the car had to be towed to a lot far away from their house.

Esther says she was a "nervous wreck" after the accident and didn't know where the van had been towed. Read more »

Horne agrees to Bisbee civil-union changes

Submitted by ONE Community on April 29, 2013 - 5:08pm

Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne says he’s reached an agreement in principal on changes to a new Bisbee civil union ordinance that will remove his opposition.

Horne met Monday with lawyers with a national group that seeks full legal rights for gay, lesbian and transgender people which has been working with Bisbee.

Horne and Jennifer Pizer of the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund say Bisbee will rewrite a section of the ordinance to make it clear it doesn’t confer rights under state laws.

There’s disagreement as to whether the original version did that but the city put it on hold after Horne’s threatened to sue. Read more »
