Congratulations To The Goldwater Institute On Their Worthy Recognition

Congratulations to our friends, Darcy Olsen, Clint Bolick, Starlee Rhoades and the whole Goldwater Institute team for being recognized as the Best Capital Watchdog.

Hopefully, all of our readers will recall that The Goldwater Institute was ready, willing and able to take on our cause if necessary as it pertained to our recent "issue" with Oro Valley.

Phoenix--Last night the Arizona Capitol Times announced the Goldwater Institute won its annual "Best Capitol Watchdog" award.

Darcy Olsen, president of the Goldwater Institute said, "There are a lot of watchdog organizations doing powerful work in Arizona, and we are thrilled to be counted among the most effective."

Readers and the editorial board of the Capitol Times make the selection annually, along with some 50 other awards. In winning the award, the Goldwater Institute edged out the Sierra Club and the Arizona Tax Research Association.

The Goldwater Institute was established in 1988 as an independent, non-partisan public policy research organization, and has grown to one of the largest state policy organizations in the country.

Last year, the Goldwater Institute created the nation's first litigation center to be fully housed within a think tank. With the addition of the litigation center, Clint Bolick, the Institute's litigation director, said in a recent interview, "We've become a watchdog that bites."
