Keeping It Clean
(Phoenix, AZ)
Arizona's Clean Elections Institute has declared this "Clean elections month". Supporters of Arizona's law that uses taxpayer money to support political campaigns say it removes special interest influence from the political process, and allows people who couldn't otherwise afford to run, to seek elected office. Critics say it's a violation of their free speech, and requires taxpayers to support the positions of politicians they may not agree with. KJZZ's Mark Moran reports on the status of the Arizona law, and on efforts to overturn it.

Opening of The Big Room at Kartchner Caverns
(Kartchner Caverns State Park, Arizona)
Beginning Tuesday, the public will be allowed for the first time into a new area of southern Arizona's Kartchner Caverns. The formal kickoff for the Veterans Day opening of the Big Room complex is being held today, attended by Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano. The governor says "Arizonans have a very special place they can call their own." She describes the Big Room as "an amazing sight." The Big Room complex consists of five structures. Making up the just-finished new complex are the Cul-de-Sac, Echo Passage, Tarantula Room, Strawberry Room and Big Room. It's about twice as large as the upper chambers that sit about 75 feet above and have been open to visitors since late 1999.
