Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans

The Arizona Court of Appeals recently blocked the Arizona Corporation Commission’s fast-track process for utility rate hikes. Judges ruled the Commission can’t bypass public input by calling a major procedural change “policy” — a win for transparency and consumers.

AARA was proud to co-sponsor the Community Food Drive on Saturday to support the PV Community Food Bank! Thank you to all of the generous donors, the UA Local Union 469 for providing the perfect space for the food drive and to all of the amazing partners!

Favorite stories of the day:

A kind woman said she was especially drawn to contribute when she read that the event would be held at the UA Plumbers and Pipefitters 469 and her father, brothers, and family members were once plumbers and pipefitters in Chicago and proud union members.

Another gentleman saw the need for a trailer to transport the overwhelming amount of donations, so he rented a trailer this morning to help volunteers deliver the donations❤️

Good people doing good for the community! With Honest Arizona, Mi Familia Vota, Vets Forward, Maricopa Area Labor Federation, and many other unions and community groups.

Thank you, Senator Ruben Gallego, for introducing an energy plan that recognizes how rising utility costs hit seniors and retirees especially hard. Your commitment to lowering bills and improving reliability helps protect those living on fixed incomes!

Arizona just took a huge step backward on energy efficiency. Arizona Corporation Commission cut Arizona Public Service - APS programs that help families weatherize homes, conserve energy, and manage summer bills — all while demand surges statewide. Arizonans deserve better than this.
