Governor Napolitano
Governor Napolitano returns to Here and Now. Lots to talk to her about. Capitol observers say she pretty much got her way with the budget passed by the legislature, but was it enough to solve declining state revenues?
One way to raise money is the deployment of fixed photo radar and photo radar vans that will be deployed to sites that data determined are where most accidents occur. What do you think of expanding photo radar?
Also, an outspoken former state lawmaker resigned from the Governor's cabinet this month. Sue Gerard had served as the director of the Department of Health Services, an agency she watched like a hawk when she was a lawmaker. What gives? Is it the result of another negative inspection of the state veteran's home?

Here and Now: Airline Adversity
Those friendly skies aren't so friendly, at least not to your pocketbook. The huge jump in the cost of fuel is having a tremendous impact on airlines. Many have started charging for luggage and some are enforcing strict carry-on limitations. And have you checked out the cost to fly to your favorite destinations?
Higher travel costs has also prompted some to not travel, although the parking lots at Sky Harbor are full as people escape Arizona's heat.
How have higher prices affected you? What do you think airlines should do?
We also want to know how high fuel prices has affected your driving.
