Well, so much for bi-partisanship in the Arizona House. Just when Democrat minority leader, Phil Lopes was singing the “Let’s all work together” song, he gets himself nominated as Speaker of the House along with Republican Speaker Jim Weiers. Quick thinking Bob Robson (Republican) moved for a roll call vote and the Lopes nomination was withdrawn. I guess someone did not want to go on record for that vote. We’re hoping it won’t be that rocky in the House from now on. If so it will be a long two years. Weiers was made Speaker of the House by acclamation.
