In July of 2010 he filed bankruptcy (BK Petition #2:10-bk-21604-CGC) on 3 of his companies with Snowflake White Mountain LLC leading the way after it received $39m in tax exempt bond funding via the AZ Dept. of Comm. (AZ Dept. of Comm. 2006 Press release). Worsley sold them to Najif Co\u2019s. for $4.75m (Ewing Bemiss &amp; Co. press release11\/30\/10) and in 2013 bought the power company back for $12m (KCSG TV 7\/30\/13). Apache Railroad that serves his power company will now be subsidized with another $2m tax payer guaranteed loan (AZ Daily Independent.com 3\/27\/14). Speaking of tax payer funded subsidies; Mr. <b>Worsley was the sole senator that defeated HB2586 that would have disclosed such back-room political tax credit favors <\/b>(AZ Daily Independent.com 4\/10\/14). Now why would he defeat a bill that passed the House 57-0? Do we want this guy voting on our taxes and fiscal decisions?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Promise No. 2:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>He says he \u201cAuthored Arizona border security plan.\u201d He is \u201cInstalling military grade technology to: 1.

He proposed and got the Governor to sign off on his version of the failed federal virtual fence, SBinet that the federal government spent over $1b to implement.

Because it was NOT FUNDED and would never be built; but it makes a good campaign piece for her Medicaid expansion political ally to say you passed it. He has not installed any equipment much less military grade equipment. Nor has he done anything to hold the federal government accountable. Name one. He opposed SB1070 and the other measures to secure the border. He supported the ineffective \u201cSANE\u201d program for amnesty. (Mesa Republic 12\/14\/12) In short, he opposes effective sovereign state efforts for us to secure our border.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Promise No. 3:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>He says he is \u201cFighting federal takeover of healthcare.\u201d (Worsley campaign flier)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Performance: His vote for federal control of our healthcare with the Medicaid Expansion Bill was a \u201cNo brainer.\u201d <\/b>(East Valley Tribune 6\/14\/13) The U.S. Supreme Court has held, accepting federal money is a contract with the federal government for which it will have no obligation to fund Medicaid expansion in the future but the federal government can still dictate what health care we can provide and what care we will be denied (NFIB v. SEBELIUS). Wake up senior citizens and those with preexisting conditions. (See: Obamacare \u201cPre-existing Conditions Insurance Plan\u201d \u2013 the PICP Directive dated 2-15-13).
