Former Tucson councilwoman Carol West made her AZ Illustrated Politics debut this evening, joining former state lawmaker Frank Antenori and former Pima County Democratic Party chairman Jeff Rogers for a discussion about the sequester, Gov. Brewer’s sales-tax and education-funding reform plans, a state bill to further regulate in-vitro fertilization procedures, the upcoming Tucson City Council elections and next year’s Attorney General race.

Turned on the show last night and as soon as I saw Antenori was on, TV went off. He’s a has been. Who cares what he has to say?
SonoranWinds: The program formally known as the Friday Roundtable has frequently had former elected officials on the air: Pete Hershberger, Jonathan Paton, Paula Aboud and this week, Carol West, to name a few off the top of my head.
While I respect your decision to not want to watch Frank on TV, he is essentially in step with the perspective of many of the state’s current lawmakers and other elected officials. I think it’s valuable to have that perspective on a program that is designed to present multiple points of view. You don’t have to agree with someone to understand that they have insight into the thinking of the legislative leadership.
BTW: If you had watched the show, I think you would have been surprised at the number of times that Frank agreed with Jeff Rogers. I know I was.
Fair enough. I’ll give it another try, Jim.
