Edge Dallas: An Arizona legislator's ethics complaint accuses a fellow senator of disregarding Senate rules by conspiring to cut off debate to help speed a vote on a proposed constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage. The complaint filed Monday by Sen. Ken Cheuvront, D-Phoenix, asks for a reprimand of Sen. Jack Harper, R-Surprise, for violating a rule on conduct of debate.
