| Vote NO on Prop 200! It`s Not Real Reform |
| Your Board of Directors has voted to oppose Proposition 200. The pay day loan industry has launched a very slick, and in our opinion, disingenuous advertising campaign claiming that Prop 200 is reform. It is little more than a coat of paint that changes very little, except for making the current interest rate waiver under which they operate, permanent. Voting NO and defeating prop 200 will cause the current waiver to expire and the interest rate cap to revert back to the current usury cap of 36% in 2010. Opponents of the proposition are out financed by the payday loan industry and can`t remotely match the advertising exposure funded by the industry. We believe that a NO vote on Proposition 200 is in the best interest of the community, Ft. Huachuca, and our service members. Posted: 10/22/2008 | Updated: 10/28/2008 |

| Electronic Range Bill Signing |
| Governor Janet Napolitano signed SB 1387, designating the boundaries of an electronic test range at Ft Huachuca. This is an historic step in the protection of very resource that lead the the reopening of Fort Huachuca in 1954- namely the electromagnetic (radio) environment. This is also the first recognition of a non-projectile range in law. We encourage the Departments of Defense and the Army to follow suit and further codify the existence of this range and it`s importance to the National Defense.
