• Art Macias, Director of Arizona Department of Weights and Measures

Although they are not high profile, employees at the state's Department of Weights and Measures make sure those who buy goods in the state -- in other words, everyone -- gets exactly what they pay for. The agency regulates everything from price scanners to moving companies to gas pumps to firewood sales to taxis, ensuring consumers are getting their money's worth. Art Macias, director of ADWM, has been at the front of the state's fight against unscrupulous moving companies that take advantage of people moving to Arizona and is proactive in protecting consumers at the gas pumps. He sat down with Arizona Capitol Times Sept. 27 for an interview about how far his department's reach stretches and what the agency will do to benefit both consumers and industry in the future.

His finger pushes down on one end to add a bit of weight, while she pokes a finger up on the other side. It's still true today," says Dan Newcombe, whose job is to make sure all the weights and measures in Maine are true. At least $24 billion in annual sales in Maine alone are weighed or measured in some way.
