Letters to the Editor for May 26
Sedition by any other name is still Sedition …To date, nine individuals have been successfully convicted of sedition resulting from the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Including at least one individual who wasn’t even there. Yet, we’re frequently advised that it would be “very hard” to convict the “general” of this “army.” It wasn’t hard to convict the lesser folk involved in the Jan. 6 fiasco … but it would be just “too hard” to convict their “leader.

Kari Lake’s attorney claimed in court that Maricopa County failed to verify ballot signatures, allegedly casting doubt on the election that Lake lost last year. His basis? Reviewers only spent three seconds evaluating each signature.

Did you wait more than three seconds? Me neither.
Thankfully, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and her team recognize the importance of these issues. Her constituent affairs representative recently visited our local Tucson practice to learn more about the problems we’re facing. I encourage Sen. Sinema to work with her colleagues in Washington to support policies that stabilize the physical therapy sector for older Arizonians who need access to this care.
