Arizona Politics

State lawmakers have wrapped up work on three budget plans in one. During their seventh special session, lawmakers passed a fix for the funding shortfall in the current budget as well as a budget for the upcoming fiscal year and a contingency budget for next year if voters do not approve the one-penny increase in the sales tax. The budget plans contain some accounting tricks including putting off school payments until next year but there are also plenty of cuts. The one item that did not clear the Legislature was the elimination of a business tax break. The proposal was approved in the House, but the Senate never took the bill up.

Preview Diary of Anne Frank 294x150 MASTERPIECE CLASSIC The Diary of Anne Frank
A Jewish teenager hiding from the Nazis pours out her heart to the only true friend she has left: her diary. Sunday, April 11th at 8:00 p.m. on PBS-HD.

Adapted by Deborah Moggach and drawing on Anne Frank’s actual words to a greater extent than any previous dramatization, “The Diary of Anne Frank” stars newcomer Ellie Kendrick (An Education) as Anne, a typical 13-year-old at the outset of the film, at odds with her mother, interested in boys, clothes, her appearance, and intrigued by her unfolding sexual development.

The MASTERPIECE production co-stars Iain Glen as Anne’s optimistic and unflappable father, Otto, and Tamsin Greig as her mother, Edith, who sees with clear-eyed horror the fate that may await them all. Felicity Jones plays Anne’s older sister, Margot, a quiet and obedient girl, who throws herself into her studies to keep from going mad.

Together with four others, they hide for two years in the back rooms of an Amsterdam business, while Anne records their tense daily life in one of history’s most remarkable memoirs.

Anne’s housemates noticed was that she threw herself into her writing with uncharacteristic seriousness and discipline. What her diary and journals held they couldn’t imagine — nor could the Nazi officer who unceremoniously dumped the seemingly mundane notebooks onto the floor, to be abandoned and later rescued for posterity.
