Arizona Cities Dispute Claim They're Not Following Law On Firefighters' Workers Comp

On Thursday, The Show heard from Arizona state Sen. Paul Boyer (R-Phoenix), who’s miffed that firefighters are having their workers’ compensation claims denied despite a state law that presumes certain forms of cancer are a result of their workplace conditions.

In the interview, Boyer said all options are on the table when it comes to resolving this, but that’s not how some municipalities see it.

Ken Strobeck is executive director of the League of Arizona Cities and Towns, and he joined The Show to talk about the issue.
