15 official state items, much more in Republic

If you missed the big Sunday Arizona Republic, you missed all the pleasure that a Sunday paper can bring.  But all is not lost because Monday's Republic is full of great reads, including:

o A front page story on the trend for more and more of us seniors to work into retirement to overcome declining home values and investment portfolios.  You can even view a slide show on potential employment options.

o A story in the Valley & State section details (and decries) your Arizona State Legislature's onerous plan to decimate the state parks system by transferring park money to the state's general fund.

o After those sobering stories, it's time for a little fun (at the expense of the legislature, of course).  In Monday's Arizona Living section you can guffaw over an expanded list of official state items -- a takeoff on the legislature's attempt to name an official state firearm.  Our favorites: Official Euphemism: active-adult community, Official Pastime: complaining about our legislature, and Official Fatigued Icon: Kokopelli.

Pick up a copy of the Republic when you're in town today, or click on azcentral.com.  Best of all, pick up the phone and call toll free 1-800-332-6733 to order home delivery of the Republic.  There's a lot more to Arizona than the local police reports.
