As governor, what do you do if your state’s incarceration rate is 48 percent higher than the national average and is full of fourth-graders who can’t read? If you’re Governor Doug Ducey, you use tax dollars to launch a “rebranding” campaign, duh!
Ever since Ducey asked the public to submit ideas, Twitter has exploded with fantastic suggestions — because, really, when has a social-media campaign ever backfired for a state entity before?
We’ve rounded up 10 of our favorites here for your patriotic pleasure. You’re welcome.
10. Are we sure it’s only 10,000?9. Extra points for rhyming!
8. #Truth #Murrikkah7. Everyone loves a silver lining!
6. Punny and topical, what more could you ask for in a slogan?
5. Yay?
4. This one needs no introduction.
3. This one is sure to draw the tourism mobs and job-creating businesses — oh wait, what’s that? Companies don’t want to relocate to Arizona? Why ever not?
2. So true it hurts — preach it, sister!
1. Probably our personal fave.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
All in all, we couldn’t agree with this guy more!
