Special thanks to Economist Jim Rounds, Graham County Supervisor Paul David, and Mohave County Manager Sam Elters for their insights.

This episode features CSA President Lynne Pancrazi - Yuma County Supervisor and former state legislator. We dive into our Resolution on State-County Collaboration and what it means for Arizona counties.

The resolution focuses on two key goals:

1. CSA’s commitment to provide analysis and feedback on legislative proposals that affect county operations.
2. Encouraging collaborative policymaking, where state lawmakers work directly with county officials on decisions that impact local resources and services.

At its heart, it’s about making sure policies reflect real-world impacts — because when counties and the state collaborate, everyone benefits.
