Travis Grantham, who represents the Phoenix exurb of Gilbert, and insists that Ducey’s latest order changes nothing—and that’s just the way he likes it.‘Just leave me alone’ When asked by the interviewer specifically about allowing proprietors of hair and nail salons to remain open, he responded, “The thing I want people to focus on is not so much the business side of this, but their personal responsibility on how they can help slow and flatten this curve.
“He wants to appease both the rational leaders and people saying ‘you are not being careful enough’ and not piss off his base of voters,” Rep. Gallego told me. “He wants to have it all ways. Unfortunately, I think it will cost people’s lives in Arizona.”
