Moving Arizona
Interview with John MacDonald, Founding Partner of Policy AZ
In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Founding Partner of Policy AZ John MacDonald. John has been part of the fabric of our industry for decades, working behind the scenes with stakeholders as they navigate Arizona’s political landscape. That has never more true than it is today as he and his partner Dana Pashcke assist organizations like MAG and AzTA as they attempt to advance transportation policy and funding.
John and Dana have been front and center during this past legislative cycle which ended shockingly in a veto from Governor Ducey on enabling legislation to take Proposition 400E to Maricopa County voters. In this interview, John shares not only his background but also the history behind why we need enabling legislation to begin with, what transpired this legislative session, and what we can do now.
