Editorial, Tucson Daily Star, 14 March 2007
Arizona needs to move aggressively to create a commuter rail line between Tucson and Phoenix and to beef up mass transit throughout the state.The sooner we build these transportation improvements, the better… we think it is essential for Arizona to get moving with plans for a modern transportation system that includes a high-speed commuter rail line between Tucson and Phoenix, light-rail systems for intracity transportation, modern electric streetcars and energy-efficient buses…We look for strong advocacy, especially from Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl, who have risen to positions of prominence in both the Republican Party and the Senate. Aggressive advocacy is essential to meet the growth needs of Arizona, and we look to our governor and our delegation in Washington to exert leadership in this area.
