According to Colrus, The Pulse's improving finances have led to an expanded news section, which brings the alt-weekly closer to its goal to be like the papers "we loved in other cities" -- Nashville Scene, Creative Loafing and the New Haven Advocate.

Responding to a report in the Phoenix New Times, Gov. Janet Napolitano claimed last week she didn't know that two political allies were officers in a student-loan company established by her executive order. The Arizona Higher Education Loan Authority was created in December 2004; four months later the governor vetoed a bill that would have allowed other companies to compete with the nonprofit student-loan firm. New Times’ investigation reported that the firm is headed by politically connected retired firefighters with close ties to the governor.
