Good morning, Tucson.

The Pima County Fair runs today until April 27 at the fairgrounds on the Southside and offers carnival rides, concerts, exhibits and family-friendly entertainment — visitors can also take advantage of special ticket and wristband promotions on select days.

Vanessa Kirby, a 36-year-old Tucson resident, was identified as the person who died in a crash on Interstate 10 near Congress Street on April 9.

Forensic experts identified skeletal remains and a cranium from Sentinel Peak as those of missing woman Terrassa Jo Fletcher-Bristol (the remains were found on December 5, 2023 and the cranium on March 20 confirmed the match), and investigators continue to examine the case.

On April 14, the Arizona Game and Fish Department warned Tucson residents to keep their distance from baby wildlife as spring warmed the area, noting that close contact might disrupt natural growth (and cause stress).

Governor Hobbs signed a bill that will soon become law banning cell phone use during school days with exceptions (for emergencies, educational purposes and medical conditions).

Officials at Cienega High believe the change will help students focus, while some students worry they might lose access to helpful information during class.

A long strip of federal land on the U.S.-Mexico border was turned over to the Department of Defense and will be controlled by the Army as part of a base that may let troops detain trespassers— including migrants—, officials said.

The move is aimed at strengthening border security.

The Pima County Recorder’s Office has mailed letters to about 30,000 voters to verify U.S. citizenship after a DMV error in the 1990s mistakenly recorded some residents as having provided proof—voters are asked to send a copy of a birth certificate, passport, or citizenship certificate using the provided envelope to update their registration for future elections.

Arizona Medicaid faces a $122 million shortfall that will cut coverage for over 60,000 residents—10,000 in Pima County, officials said.

The funding gap risks more than 5,000 local jobs and a $542.7 million drop in economic output if not resolved before the month ends.
