Aug. 6, 2014 According to the Arizona Republic Feb. 9, 2014, Candidate for Governor Christine Jones' GoDaddy.com received a 1.5 million dollar subsidy from the Az. Commerce Authority. The Commerce Authority is a public-private partnership, 3 P's, created by Gov. Jan Brewer in early 2011. She had abolished the State Commerce Department and replaced it with the "authority." The Commerce Authority gets most of its money from taxpayers. The first president/CEO was Don Cordon. His salary in 2011, was at least, without bonuses, $380,000 year. The "private" part was Jerry Colangelo's Team ACA, the privately funded non-profit that was supposed to support the Commerce Authority. ACA, as of Feb. '14, was shutting down after 3 largely "ineffective" years. Job creation, (part of "authority subsidies), should be made by the wheel turning a free market, not taxpayer handouts to favored government companies. Low corporate, personal and property taxes are spokes in that wheel. Christine Jones has been walking in some pretty tall cotton to get her subsidy. We have hopes the next governor will re-instate the State Commerce Department. Dump the Commerce Authority and its good-buddy tactics tossing about our hard earned cash. Let's roll.
