ARIZONA ESTABLISHES HOLIDAY HONORING KING

Gov. Rose Mofford signed legislation creating a paid Martin Luther King Jr. holiday for state employees Wednesday, just hours after the hard-fought measure won final passage in the Arizona House.

Mofford was in Tucson when the House passed the bill 35-25, but flew back to Phoenix for the late afternoon signing ceremony. - Associated Press
