Bush Notes Record Number of Home Owners
RISMEDIA, Jan. 21 - During Tuesday night’s State of the Union Address President George W. Bush highlighted the fact that there has never been a higher number of home owners in the United States than now. “The pace of economic growth in the third quarter of 2003 was the fastest in nearly 20 years,” Bush told members of Congress. “New home construction: the highest in almost 20 years. Home ownership rates: the highest ever … Interest rates are low. … These numbers confirm that the American people are using their money far better than the government would have -- and you were right to return it.”

PRIVATE PRISON
Phoenix - A private prison in Mohave County was the bargaining chip between Legislative Republicans and democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano in the previous special session. With the '04 regular session just underway, Gov. Napolitano says no more haggling.
"I have told Sen. (Linda) Binder, R-Lake Havasu City, and I've told other members of the delegation from the Kingman area, that it is my intent to get that prison up and running and operational by May," she said.
Gov. Napolitano cited delays in financing by the prison developer as the latest stumbling block, but that's expected to be worked through this month. The company was seeking financing in December, a month where financing options are limited.
