I couldn't go to sleep tonight (even though I'm EXHAUSTED) without saying THANK YOU. Thank you to everyone who showed up for our press conference this morning. Thank you to everyone who took precious time out of your schedules to come to the hearing and give public comments. Thank you to those who called in. Thank you to Warren and Richard, our intervenors. Thank you to my/our attorney, Adam Stafford. Thank you to our amazing expert Abhay Padgaonkar. Thank you to everyone who has donated to the legal fund, everyone who gave me hugs and words of encouragement today, my work team, friends, and kids who have been incredibly supportive of this endeavor, and all who have joined me in this crazy 10 month David vs. Corporate Goliath battle against a multi-billion dollar utility monopoly. There truly is power in numbers, and no matter what happens, we definitely have gotten further than I ever imagined! I even somehow made it to my daughter's cross country meet way over on the west side today after the hearing ended at 5 p.m. before the girls had finished their race, so that was a win too!

We most likely will have another 2 full days of hearing, so I'll try to keep everyone updated as I'm able. You can watch the hearing live if interested. It starts again tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. That link will also take you to the hearing archives so you can watch the full thing as soon as it's uploaded by the ACC.

You can view the full press conference from today here.

Here are the media stories I've seen about today. AZ Republic, 12 News, and FOX 10 Phoenix.

This isn't over yet, please continue to share the legal fund (attorneys aren't cheap) and in the fitting words of one of my favorite women activists, Margaret Mead, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

In solidarity,

-Ms. Champion
