The Least We Can Do: The Verde Valley School Maintenance and Operation Budget Override Elections. Every Arizona voter knows, or should know, that increasingly savage budget cutting by our State Legislature has impoverished our school system, and put the future of our children at risk.

Democratic Perspective co-hosts Mike Cosentino and Steve Williamson welcome James Ledbetter, President of the Governing Board of the Mingus Union High School District No. 4, Dr. Paul Tighe, Superintendent of the Mingus Union High School District No. 4, and David D.
