OPINION — It appears our lawmakers want to take our rights to control pet ownership in our HOA communities. (Arizona lawmakers work to keep HOAs from dog discrimination, by Howard Fischer).
I feel Republicans and MAGA have betrayed us. The U.S. Constitution Article 1, Section 10 and the Arizona Constitution Article 11, Section 25 forbid laws that limit our right to freely contract with each other. HOA residents agree to live under their own pet rules; that is our right.
In my 50 years of legal experience, I found that lawmakers don’t care about our pets; they care about real estate investors who want to take senior citizens’ homes.
