In an effort to educate older adults we have created this tool kit. Seniors are at risk to become victims of theft, fraud, and are particularly vulnerable to scams. This kit will help you have the tools needed to be well-informed because you could encounter a scam on the phone, through the mail, via computer or even when someone you do not know knocks on your door with an offer that may be too good to be true.

The Cold Case Task Force was created to:
• Review procedures used by law enforcement agencies in investigating and preserving cold case homicides.
• Review procedures used by law enforcement agencies in investigating recent homicides.
• Receive comment from members of victim’s families and members of the public.
It was decided that this report should focus upon the current practices of Arizona’s law enforcement community regarding cold case homicides, establishing a baseline that would allow for measured review as law enforcement progresses with the unique challenges that “cold case” homicides present.

This is a summary of several reports related to government finance in Arizona that have been produced by the Office of the University Economist since December 2008. Some new information has been added in an attempt to provide a complete picture. The format of this report is a brief summary by issue, sometimes accompanied by a table or chart. References are provided to the report and the page number where additional detail can be found.
Following an analysis of economic conditions, this paper examines actions that can be taken by state governments to stimulate the economy. The only action that results in a significant near-term effect is to accelerate spending on physical infrastructure that has already been identified as needed.
Volume I: Facts
Analyses of Arizona state government finance, using data of the Arizona Joint Legislative Budget Committee, and of the combined finances of all state and local governments within Arizona, using data of the U.S. Census Bureau. A historical perspective is provided for both datasets. For combined state and local government finance, comparisons are made to other states and to the national average. In addition, other measures of the tax burden by state are examined.
Volume II: Concepts and Issues
Addresses the conceptual and empirical relationships between taxes, government revenue, and economic growth. Also discusses current issues specific to Arizona state government finance. This is a revised version of the report "Tax Reductions, the Economy, and the Deficit in the Arizona State Government General Fund," incorporating new and updated material.
Volume III: Options for Managing the Arizona State General Fund
Presents options and offers recommendations for managing the Arizona state government general fund. The near-term budget deficit is addressed as well as ways to prevent budget deficits from recurring every time economic growth slows.
The purpose of the stabilization fund is to reduce the fluctuations in general fund revenue caused by the economic cycle. These fluctuations result in large budget surpluses in some years and large deficits in other years. Without considering the structural deficit, the budget stabilization fund almost certainly will not have the funding necessary to offset the cyclical reduction in revenue that will occur during the next recession.
