Next Ariz. governor seen taking conservative path
Look for a turn to the right.
That's the widespread expectation of what will happen when Republican Secretary of State Jan Brewer replaces Gov. Janet Napolitano after the Democratic incumbent resigns to become U.S. homeland security director.

On the flip side, Sierra Club lobbyist Sandy Bahr said Brewer got failing grades as a legislator on report cards issued by conservation groups.
Brewer wasn't a key player on environmental issues, Bahr said. ``I just remember she was a bad vote.''
Added Bahr: ``Obviously I would not expect her to be strong on environmental protection and not really promoting or taking a leadership role on issues like climate change or energy efficiency.''
Brewer said in an interview that she recognizes that climate change is a major issue.
``It's something that I really want to get my arms around and get lots of information on,'' she said. ``But we also have to realize that we have an economy that we have to also be cognizant of and act responsibly.''
