State lawmakers voted Tuesday to make sure there’s someone left to run the government if the roof caves in — literally — during the next State of the State address.
The proposal by Sen. Judy Burges, R-Sun City West, would require that the secretary of state, attorney general or treasurer be taken somewhere else — at least 25 miles away — the next time there’s an event that normally would include all of them plus the governor. The absent official would be returned to the Capitol only after the event was over and the state’s chief executive is safe.
