AzPPO Meets with Governor's Office On September 8, AzPPO leaders sat down with Patrick Adams, Senior Advisor for Water Policy to Governor Hobbs. Representing the industry were Chris Gillies (AzPPO Secretary), Bill Bennett (AzPPO President), Austin Burns (Past President), Nick McRoy and our lobbyist. The group covered several issues that matter to Arizona pest management professionals: - **The recent sweep of our industry's funds** - **Our proposed fingerprint bill** for the upcoming session - **An official seat on the AG Council** for the pest management industry - **Possible legislation on neonicotinoid bans and rodenticides** Patrick listened closely and asked thoughtful questions about our industry. He even mentioned he'd recently dealt with roof rats at his own home, so he knows firsthand why our work matters. He told the group that if harmful legislation comes up this year, he will speak up on our behalf with the Governor. NPMA's public policy team called the meeting "fantastic," and it's a strong step toward building lasting relationships at the Capitol. Thank you to everyone who gave their time to represent our members. Want to support this work? Consider a contribution to State 48, AzPPO's PAC.
