PHOENIX — I had the pleasure of talking with former Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl for the episode of Amazing Arizonans.

I met the senator over 20 ago. He is known as an expert on the U.S. Constitution and sat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

He also is an expert in water legislation and as a key figure in the Central Arizona Project, ensuring water security throughout the western states. We get a behind the curtain look at some of the decisions that molded our state and our country.

I hope you enjoy it.
