Ward Connerly announced civil-rights initiatives in four states this week: Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Here’s an AP story. And here’s a report from Arizona:

The California native was unable to mention specific programs in Arizona that would be eliminated if the initiative should pass, but promised all race and gender preferences in the state down to contracts for “mosquito abatement” would disappear.

Do they even have mosquitoes in Arizona?

Linda Chavez, who grew up in Colorado, is helping out with that intiative and devoted her column this week to Connerly’s new push.
