A break from today’s news of what’s going on in Washington, D.C., to bring you a proclamation letter of sorts from U.S. Representative Raul Grijalva, whose district includes Tucson and Southern Arizona.
Grijalva issued a letter — with his Congressional letterhead — today to the Sunnyside Little League team challenging for a spot in the Little League World Series.
