Reason: Why Did Arizona Democrats Kill a Bill Protecting Citizens From Police Overreach?
…
Lauren Krisai, a senior policy analyst at Justice Action Network, was frustrated by the bill's strange defeat.
"It's disappointing that House Democrats put petty politics over good policy that they actually agree with," Krisai says. "This bill would have protected the most vulnerable Arizonans from having their property seized without due process. That's something that you'd think both parties would agree to. "
After killing the bill, the House adjourned for the session. So the vote cannot be reconsidered. The legislation will have to be reintroduced next term.
