Reasons For Wearing Seat Belts

Plenty of highlights as 2011 legislative session ends

Lisa Blais of the RI Tea Party, one of the more persistent and vocal groups opposing arbitration for teachers, said, “Evidently, Speaker Fox is much savvier than Senator Paiva Weed, we are thankful he showed the leadership to stop it. Speaker Fox saved this state and its taxpayers, public education and cities and towns trying to balance their budgets.” Among those fighting to the end to stop binding arbitration was Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien. He told the assembly leadership and the city's delegation that, “As mayor of a city that every day faces an uphill battle to avoid falling into state bankruptcy proceedings, it is my position that passage of such a bill would likely result in higher costs for education that will almost inevitably fall on local cities and towns, and most importantly on our local taxpayers at a time of continued severe economic distress. This is legislation that Pawtucket taxpayers simply cannot afford. The end result would be that Pawtucket would lose control of its economic future. As mayor, that is something I must oppose for the sake of our city. By far, the most raucous debate in the House’s final day concerned Woonsocket Rep. Jon Brien's bill to require voters to show some form of identification when they show up to vote. The measure requires that, starting in January, 2012, voters only to have show something with their name on it as identification. After Jan. 1 2014, they will be required to have a photo identification at their local polling place. --- The House passed and sent to the Senate a bill that prevents municipal officials in cities and towns with a state-appointed receiver from rescinding or taking any steps contrary to actions taken by the receiver. It also protects receivers, overseers or budget commission members from being held personally liable for actions taken in the course of their official duties. --- The Senate and House voted to form a special seven-member legislative commission to study the Wyatt Detention Center and its operations and finances. The commission is a substitute for a bill by Central Falls Sen. Elizabeth Crowley that would have stripped the federal facility of its exemption from paying local taxes because it has failed for the last several years to pay the impact fee it promised the city. Loss of that revenue from the detention center is pointed to as one of the reasons for Central Falls' financial woes.

The Payson Roundup / Payson man dies, two women hurt in Hwy. 87 crash

A Payson man died Monday afternoon and two other women were injured when their vehicle crashed into an oak tree north of town.

James Leon Sanders, 65, was airlifted to a Scottsdale hospital where he later died from his injuries, said Bart Graves, media relations coordinator with the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Sanders was driving southbound on Highway 87, just before the Tonto Natural Bridge turnoff about 1:25 p.m., when for unknown reasons he lost control and the vehicle drifted off the right side of the road.

The 1999 Chevrolet pickup traveled 300 feet before striking a tree.

When officers arrived, James still had a heartbeat, however, he later died at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.

Two women in the truck suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Mary Edna Sanders, 64, was airlifted to a Valley hospital with back, neck and arm injuries while Sandy Engel, 65, was treated and released from Payson Regional Medical Center for minor injuries.

No other vehicles were involved.

James and Mary were not wearing seat belts, according to DPS officers’ report. It is unknown if Engel was wearing a seat belt.
