PHOENIX — Dozens of sober living providers claim they were improperly targeted and forced to close their doors nearly two years after the state sounded the alarm on a $2 billion sober living crisis.
“The state suspended, terminated, and got rid of people with a knee-jerk reaction. They did not give people due process,” said Pastor Andre Miller, vice president of the Arizona Conference of NAACP.
12News asked local leaders what they hope to see from Congress and the Trump Administration.
PHOENIX — On Monday, a new administration comes to power, bringing with it four years of a new president, at least two years of a new Congress, and the hopes of hundreds of millions of Americans.
Civil rights advocate and Mesa pastor Andre Miller said he hopes for better representation.
"Right now, we have a lot of rich people making decisions for people who are not rich," he said.
Miller also wants some sort of movement on immigration. It's an issue that can't be postponed anymore, he said.
"I think that we've kicked the can of immigration down the road too long," Miller said. "I think there needs to be legislative action to just put that to be it once and for all."
