LAKE HAVASU CITY

Gov. Jan Brewer has offered her support to the new 1,200-megawatt Sterling Solar Facility near Lake Havasu City. Brewer received a presentation on the new project March 4.
According to a news release from Sterling, Brewer expressed interest in the 1,500 construction jobs and 75-125 permanent jobs the project would create. The project would add approximately $6 million to the county's property tax base and generate $240 million in state sales tax. It would also use less than 500 acre-feet of water per year.
Sterling applied to Western Area Power Administration on March 3 for access to local transmission lines.

Q: *Why do we need SB1070 if Arizona law enforcement regularly turns over illegal aliens to Border Patrol agents already. With SB1070 the Arizona taxpayers will pay all the costs that go along with an arrest under state law. If law enforcement can already detain illegal aliens and simply turn them over to the feds, why should we pay all these extra costs in these times?

A: A very good question that I have no answer for. The law won't ever see the light of day. Most of the meat of it was...

Q: * Eighteen states and the District of Columbia were named finalists Tuesday in the second round of the federal "Race to the Top" school reform grant competition, giving them a chance to receive a share of $3.4 billion. The states are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. All finalists will travel to Washington in coming weeks to present their proposals. Will you be covering any of this in your paper?

A: We ran a brief on it in Wednesday's paper.
