Arizona Demands Power Overhaul

Arizona lawmakers are demanding Congress hand over the struggling San Carlos Irrigation Project, a federal utility plagued by frequent blackouts that leave thousands without power during brutal summers. State Senator TJ Shope, whose family has owned a local business in the service area for 75 years, led the charge with a Senate and House resolution urging federal action. He’s calling on Washington officials to experience the Arizona heat firsthand to grasp the real impact on residents and businesses. While the resolution is just the first step, it signals a growing statewide push for a reliable power provider to end decades of neglect and restore stability to communities like Casa Grande and Apache Junction.
