- Description
- With high temperatures nearing 120 in Phoenix, that means more expensive electric bills. However, some Arizonans may qualify to get help through a new state program called Power AZ.
Earlier this year, Gov. Katie Hobbs and the Arizona Department of Economic Security announced $15 million would be available to certain Arizonans who qualify. That includes middle-income families specifically. To qualify, you have to make $4,890 a month for a single person, and for a family of four, it’s $9,400 a month. Whitney Clark explains more.

As Election Day nears, opponents are revisiting past incidents involving Arizona candidates. Video of Secretary of State candidate Alex Kolodin’s encounter with police has resurfaced, while Sheriff Mark Lamb faces accusations involving explicit text messages. Gov. Katie Hobbs was cleared by the state attorney general in a pay-to-play investigation. Political consultant Stan Barnes says campaigns often save damaging information for when early ballots arrive and voters are paying closer attention. He says candidates may blunt an attack by addressing controversial moments themselves before opponents do.

- Canada’s retaliatory tariffs are raising concerns in Yuma, where lettuce growers depend on Canadian buyers during the winter produce season.
STORY: azfamily.news/8v26zmjv
Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs of 15% to 50% on billions of dollars in U.S. goods after trade talks with the Trump administration collapsed. Agricultural leaders in Yuma are watching closely because Canada is a major buyer of Arizona-grown winter produce. Canada imports about $676 million in Arizona agricultural products each year, including an estimated $85 million in lettuce. Growers say planting is continuing as scheduled, but a prolonged trade standoff could force farms to seek new markets. The tariffs are expected to take effect Sept. 8 unless negotiators reach a resolution.

Debi Gotlieb says thieves stole her father’s Scottsdale home by impersonating him and putting the property up for sale. She says it took months and $20,000 to get the home back. Now, Arizona’s Department of Real Estate has launched the Early Real Estate Sales Alert System, or ERAS, to alert registered owners to pending property sales. The Attorney General’s Office says it has received nearly 400 real estate fraud complaints since 2024, many involving deed fraud. Homeowners can register using their name, address or parcel number, and the state urges families to sign up elderly relatives’ properties, too.

- Record heat is changing life in Flagstaff, where older homes and NAU dorms built for cooler summers are now facing weeks of punishing temperatures.
https://azfamily.news/24cj3hnn
Above-average temperatures are continuing across Northern Arizona, pushing Flagstaff toward what could become its hottest year on record. The high-country city is often far cooler than the Valley, but a growing number of residents say the heat is lasting longer and hitting harder. Many older homes and NAU dorms do not have air conditioning, while local HVAC companies report more calls for costly installations. Coconino County officials estimate about 23% of homes lack AC. For those not ready for a full system, portable units and strategic fan placement can offer lower-cost relief.

The two now-former Phoenix police officers are accused in a violent, unreported traffic stop on Aug. 5. Investigators found the officers repeatedly beat, tased and threatened a couple at gunpoint after forcefully removing them from their car during a violent, unreported traffic stop.
Both men have bonded out of jail while they await their next court appearance.

Dashcam footage from inside a Valley Metro train shows a driver making an illegal turn directly into the path of the train at a Valley intersection. Valley Metro reports 42 crashes involving cars and light rail trains so far this year. The agency says 80% happen when drivers proceed when they should not. Each crash causes an average of $23,000 in damage, with insurance often failing to cover the full cost. Officials want new signs at several crash-prone intersections across Phoenix and Mesa and urge drivers to slow down near the tracks.

- Description
- After hours of testimony and five overflow rooms, Pinal County leaders reject the controversial data center project planned near Eloy.
STORY: https://azfamily.news/yckjhvzd
The Pinal County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 against rezoning land for Vermaland’s proposed data center project south of Eloy. Neighbors packed public meetings and filled five overflow rooms, raising concerns about water, air quality, noise, wildlife and property values. The developer had reduced the proposal from 59 buildings to 11, with two gas-fired power plants planned to supply electricity. Union members and the Avra Valley fire chief supported the project, citing jobs, equipment and potential fire-service improvements. The vote effectively ends the project, though Vermaland says it will move forward with other Arizona plans.
