GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Axon ended negotiations with Scottsdale over its plan to build a large apartment complex when city leaders and a new state law kept local voters from having a say.

- ➤ On Wednesday the state House gave preliminary approval for stricter animal cruelty laws that remove provisions for providing suitable drinking water and impose felony penalties for failing to supply necessary medical care—expanding cruelty to also cover inadequate shelter for pets.
