    Many more Arizonans helping ‘Keep Arizona Grand’

    logo_azdot2Phoenix AZ (October 24, 2019) – Litter Hotline reports are up significantly since the Arizona Department of Transportation began offering even more convenient ways for citizens to reach out when they see motorists trashing state highways.

    In recent months, ADOT has created a new Litter Hotline website, Litter.AZ.gov, for online reports of littering and made it possible for witnesses to call in reports by simply calling 511, the Arizona Traveler Information phone line. Meanwhile, ADOT processed 1,405 littering reports between April and September of this year, a two-thirds increase from the 839 processed in the same period of 2018.

    Based on Litter Hotline reports, including the license plate number and vehicle’s make, ADOT sends the registered owner a letter noting that littering is illegal, is costly to clean up as well as unsightly, and can result in a $500 fine. The letter includes a small litter bag suitable for use in a vehicle.

    ADOT spends more than $4 million a year removing trash along state highways.

    Complementing the efforts of those making Litter Hotline reports, ADOT’s nearly 10,000 Adopt a Highway volunteers last year cleaned up tons of litter – nearly 13,000 bags in all – along about 1,700 of state highways, saving the agency around $500,000 that can be put to other uses.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
