PHOENIX COUNCIL MEMBERS TRY TO BLOCK SATANISTS
Members of the Satanic Temple of Tucson are scheduled to deliver the invocation Feb. 17. Group leaders say they are a religion but they do not worship the devil.
City Manager Ed Zuercher said in a statement Friday night that, at the council members’ request, he would add an agenda item for next Wednesday’s meeting that would change the way the city schedules groups that lead the prayer.

Wellington Phoenix supporters join revolt at FFA fan sanctions
One of the most remarkable meetings in the history of Australian football is set to take place next week when representatives of all 10 A-League active supporter groups join forces to combat Football Federation of Australia’s fan management policies.
Sets of fans that previously had to be separated by lines of security guards, mounted officers and seated at opposite ends of the stadium will sit down at the same table in Sydney on Wednesday.
Despite some supporter groups being involved in clashes in the past, some violent, they have put aside all differences to unite in seeking a proper appeals process to banning notices and improved crowd management systems.
The union of supporters is the latest development in the bitter fan war with the FFA, led by Western Sydney Wanderers’ Red and Black Bloc, Sydney FC’s The Cove and North Terrace of Melbourne Victory. The three largest supporter groups will be joined by supporters of the seven other A-League clubs who are travelling from as far as New Zealand and Perth to attend the meeting. Fairfax Media understands the meeting was arranged by, and some travel costs covered by, a third party – in conjunction with some clubs.

State must refund $100M in rental car taxes
The State of Arizona must refund more than $100 million in rental car taxes after a judge ruled the tax unconstitutional this week.
Those taxes had been used to pay for major sports venues like University of Phoenix Stadium and some Cactus League stadiums. More than 100 rental car companies brought the lawsuit in 2005, saying the tax was unconstitutional and they should not have been forced to pass on those taxes to customers.
