How
Arizona Compares: Real Numbers and Hot Topics, a new report from Morrison Institute
for Public Policy, answers these questions and provides enough other comparisons
to keep Arizonans quizzing each other for weeks. However, this fifth edition of
Morrison Institute's Arizona Policy Choices series is more than just fun and games.
How Arizona Compares will help leaders and residents see their state and metropolitan
areas in competitive terms and—we hope—redouble their efforts to make
Arizona a more prosperous place. Visit the Morrison Institute website http://www.morrisoninstitute.org
