The hapless Sen. Jeff Dial is affectionately referred to at the Capitol as Gomer Dial – Rep. Heather Carter is Sergeant Carter…. the not-so-funny pair join forces to dismantle public education in every way… the chambers own them…. no one else would.
In the latest episode, Dial introduces SB1416 for Governor Doug Ducey. The bill will strip the only duly state level education office of its power. The National Governor Association is working through dolts like Ducey and Dial to take the public out of public education…. and don’t forget this little gem…..
Arizona Sen. Jeff Dial’s military record questioned
State Sen. Jeff Dial touted his military service during successful campaigns for the Arizona House and later the Senate.
Gov. Jan Brewer endorsed him as a “veteran of the Armed Forces.” And he serves on the Legislature’s veterans caucus, formed to help create bipartisan solutions for problems involving veterans.
But what Dial doesn’t say about his military experience is that soon after joining the U.S. Army Reserve in 1996, he got in trouble for his weight, triggering a personnel action against him and making him ineligible for promotion. Four years into his eight-year commitment, he was transferred to the inactive list for “unsatisfactory participation.”
While other reservists were being called up to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, Dial remained on the individual ready reserve list from 2000 to 2004. Dial, a Republican who represents parts of Ahwatukee Foothills, Tempe, Mesa and Chandler, received an honorable discharge when his service commitment ended in 2004.
