Legal Self-Promotion
On May 25th, I am lecturing on Land Use Law: Current Issues in Subdivision, Annexation and Zoning for NBI-National Business Institute. The program brochure is available here. My topic is "Analyze the Land Subdivision Process." If you really, really want to know about the legal foundation of the land development process in Arizona, here's your chance.

El Tour de Phoenix 2010
3:35:22 (gun time only). 386/993 overall, they don't do age group results. I was 4 minutes slower than last year, but still comfortably within the "gold" category, and I averaged 20.1 mph. A good day. No photos yet.

But why would Gov. Brewer be bothering with a responsible attorney like AG Terry Goddard for a political stunt? If you want a stupid, politically-motivated, and ultimately unsuccessful lawsuit, shouldn't you instead call Andrew Thomas?
