Arizona gets a bad rep as super hot, but Tucson is not nearly as hot due to being slightly higher altitude. Also, the government tends to be "smaller" and less intrusive than other states such as say Illinois. I lived there 2 years when stationed at Ft Huachuca during my UAV training, loved the state and would live there again if given a chance.
