Farley’s attacks increase, Allen stands by statements
Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen is under attack after making a “flippant” comment about mandatory church attendance which was then Tweeted by Sen. Steve Farley. Farley, whose extreme behavior was questioned by fellow Democrats earlier this month, implied that Allen wanted to pass a bill requiring attendance.
Popular liberal blogger, David Abie Morales, in March 3 article describes an attack by Farley on a lowly Tucson area school board member, who had dared to support desegregation funding legislation that Farley opposed. “State Senator Steve Farley made the biggest waves, somehow lacking the courage to confront his own senate colleagues who matter (since they have the vote) and calling them racist,” wrote Morales, Farley “had no problem calling on a school board member to resign (WTF?) because he was getting involved in the political process.”
Morales called the attack “disturbing to watch due to all the theatrics, but basically everyone kept ganging up on Hicks the whole time. When he tried to speak, TUSD board president Adelita Grijalva would shut him up. When Steve Farley personally attacked a board member when he was supposed to instead be giving a “legislative update” she still let him continue.”
