Supervisors' attorney Tom Irvine in more trouble

The Board of Supervisors' overpriced attorney, Tom Irvine, who used to represent the Democrat Party, is now in trouble with another client, the Scottsdale Area Chamber, for allowing campaign finance violations. Following Irvine's advice, the Chamber engaged in express advocacy in favor of the former Democrat Mayor Mary Manross (and others) without registering or filing campaign finance reports. There's a document from Irvine in which he says what the Chamber did was legal. The Tucson City Attorney authored the opinion finding the campaign violations.

Initially, Democrat AG Goddard was investigating, but when it was discovered that he had campaigned for Manross, he was forced to turn the investigation over to the Tucson City Attorney. This wouldn't be the first time Goddard tried to "investigate" a friend in order to get them off the hook. Democrats Goddard has investigated in the past seem to skate. Whereas there is a long list of Republicans Goddard has investigated who have been zealously prosecuted, sometimes to the point of devastating their careers, even when Goddard wasn't able to make any charges stick.

Liberal Arizona Republic denounces Supervisors' spending on high-priced attorney Irvine

We were surprised to see the editorial in the Arizona Republic today entitled "Spare the lawyer and the expense" which was highly critical of the Board of Supervisors' excessive payments to high-priced former Democrat Party attorney Tom Irvine. If the liberal Republic finds a problem with government spending, alarm bells should be going off.

Some excerpts -

Paying one of Phoenix's most expensive lawyers to sit through construction-planning meetings for the new county courthouse, however, isn't one of those justified expenses.

The Arizona Republic's Craig Harris reported Monday that supervisors have paid the Polsinelli Shughart law firm at least $267,000 in the past several months to monitor the progress of the county's $340 million court tower on behalf of the county Superior Court.

Even in flush economic times, this would be categorized under "excessive expense."

The meetings in question have little or nothing to do with contractual issues, the usual bailiwick of lawyers.

The Superior Court should find someone more familiar with a hard hat and a tape measure to represent their interests at construction meetings.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio considers run for Governor?

A m e r i c a n P o s t - G a z e t t e

Distributed by C O M M O N S E N S E , in Arizona

Joe Arpaio already has earned a nationwide reputation for being America’s toughest sheriff. In a meeting this past Friday afternoon , the Sheriff discussed the possibility of his running for governor. While it’s too early for an official announcement because of campaign finance laws, Arpaio did suggest the possibility of a run for the highest office in Arizona. The stars are in alignment. He has the funding, support of the conservative base, and the timing is right.

There is no doubt the “toughest sheriff in the world” would bring the same no nonsense, cost effective approach to the governor’s office and budget negotiations. Arpaio would never even consider a tax increase until all the fat was cut from bloated state agencies. He would get every department off their high fat diet, and onto lean, green bologna, just as he has done running his no-fat Sheriff’s department.

The list of wanna be’s for governor increases with the clear scent of Governor Brewer’s political blood in the air. Few genuine contenders exist, and the Sheriff presents a formidable challenge. Stay tuned for updates!

Sheriff investigating County manager

Thanks to our readers for submitting these articles exposing the financial excesses in county government. Since county government tends to fly under the radar, being not as interesting as statewide politics, we are happy to provide some sunshine into what's going on there.

MCSO investigating Maricopa County Manager David Smith

Arpaio said his office has several criminal and other investigations into parts of county governments, and he did say Smith and his office were part of that.
...
The MCSO is investigating airport restaurant leases held by businesses owned by Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox and helped secure 2008 indictments against Supervisor Don Stapley over disclosure of real estate development and business deals.
...
Maricopa County PIO De Uriate said the county is resisting Arpaio’s request citing costs, opting to fight it in court. He also notes Arpaio’s attorneys have said there was an investigation of Maricopa County Superior Court Presiding Judge Barbara Mundell.
...
The MCSO is fighting with the Board of Supervisors and Smith over the Sheriff’s office raid Aug. 12 and takeover of a $25 million criminal justice computer system shared by county legal and law enforcement agencies. The MCSO said county officials were trying to make changes to the system without approval by partner agencies and they cited worries about system security.

Legislature investigating Supervisors' spending at law enforcement unions request

Finally! The legislature is going to investigate the Board of Supervisors' out-of-control spending, thanks to law enforcement unions requesting it.

The Senate Appropriations Committee chairman wants to hold a public hearing to determine if Maricopa County officials are properly appropriating money.

"We have a fiduciary responsibility to step in," said Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, noting that state government disburses money to the state's 15 counties.

Pearce's concerns were prompted by two groups of public-safety officers - the MaricopaCounty Association of Detention Officers and the Deputies Law Enforcement Association - who allege that the county is misusing $196 million in surplus funds while simultaneously making service cuts to cover a $76 million revenue shortfall.

Judicial Watchs Calls on Goddard to File Lawsuit to Stop Phoenix Police Chief Harris from Receiving Illegal Pension Benefits

Doubt Goddard will do anything, he only goes after Republicans.

WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwire) -- 08/31/09 -- Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it sent a letter on August 27, 2009 requesting that Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard file a lawsuit against the Phoenix Police Pension Board, its five members, and City of Phoenix Chief of Police Jack F. Harris to enjoin the illegal payment of pension benefits to Chief Harris. Judicial Watch informed Attorney General Goddard that if he fails to act on this request Judicial Watch will file a lawsuit on behalf of Arizona taxpayers and former and current City of Phoenix police officers to seek justice in the matter.

As Judicial Watch notes in its letter, Chief Harris retired from the City of Phoenix Police Department "on or about January 19, 2007," but was subsequently rehired as "Public Safety Manager." However, Chief Harris continued to maintain his former title and position as Chief of Police. In fact, Chief Harris is listed as "Public Safety Manager/Police Chief Jack Harris" on an organizational chart maintained by the Phoenix Police Department.

According to Arizona law, if a retired member of the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System "subsequently becomes employed in the same position by the employer from which the member retired, the system shall not make pension payments to the retired member during the period of reemployment." As Chief Harris continues to take pension payments contrary to law, Judicial Watch is asking the Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard to intervene.

Judicial Watch believes that "there is clear legal authority to seek to enjoin the payment of pension benefits to Chief Harris."

"We expect public officials to follow the rules and we expect the Arizona Attorney General to enforce the law," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "The illegal payment of pension funds to Chief Harris is a waste of taxpayer funds and Attorney General Goddard should put a stop to it. Judicial Watch stands ready to act if the Attorney General fails to remedy the situation."

New AZ poll: Only 18% would vote for Gov. Brewer, and only 23% of Republicans

We've heard that Governor Brewer is unsure about whether she is going to run for governor for another term, and so this poll will probably dissuade her.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CARDON Poll Likely To Shake up Arizona Political Landscape For 2010 Races, Issues

Statewide Findings Show Pitfalls, Opportunities for Both Parties & Major Candidates

Brewer Re-Election Numbers Low

MESA, ARIZONA. AUGUST 31, 2009. Wow. That may be the conclusion of many after reviewing the findings of a statewide poll commissioned by Wil Cardon, CEO of The Cardon Group, one of Arizona’s most well-known and respected real estate companies.

The well-known businessman and philanthropist has been mentioned as a possible candidate for Governor, State Treasurer and Arizona Republican Party Chairman.

The poll of 602 high-efficacy Arizona voters was fielded August 20^th-25^th by the Phoenix-based Summit Group. It sampled Republicans voting in the last two primary elections, Democrats doing the same and Independents who cast votes in the past two General Elections. Forty percent of those polled were Republicans, 33 percent Democrat and the rest were Independents or unaffiliated voters. The poll has a margin of error of 4.5 percent.

For a copy of the entire poll, please contact Julia Diament at jdiament@roseandallynpr.com, or 602-796-8211.

“Arizona reminds me of a listless ship at sea,” Cardon said. “I thought our state needed new ideas and a new direction. This poll confirms it. The current people and policies are not working. I hope these results can add to the political discussions, and shake it up a little bit.”

Among the poll’s key findings:

*Governor Brewer’s prospects for re-election have dimmed. Only 18% of likely voters would vote for her if the election were held today whereas 46% would vote for someone else. Thirty-six percent were undecided. Among Republicans 23% say they would vote for her re-election while 37% would not.

*However, her proposed one cent sales tax increase is still favored by a 49%-43% margin, with surprising resiliency among voters age 65 and older. Republicans slightly disapprove of the plan, Independents slightly approve whereas as Democrats support it by a 21% margin.

*Sentiment about the direction of Arizona has plummeted, an opinion surely driving down Governor Brewer’s standing. Only 18% agree that the state is headed in the right direction whereas 57% think Arizona is now on the wrong track.

*Approval for the State Legislature’s performance is similarly low with only 20% saying it is doing a good job and 61% disagreeing.

*The disregard for those currently in state government could be a drag not only on Governor Brewer and legislators but also others considering a run for higher office like incumbent State Treasurer Dean Martin and Attorney General Terry Goddard. When asked what type of candidates preferred likely voters signaled those who “run businesses” versus those who “served in state government” by a 70%-30% margin.

*By wide margins the top issues voters would like Arizona leaders to address are K-12 education funding followed by illegal immigration and the state budget deficit. University funding, the environment and transportation were the least of voter’s concerns.

*The feisty mood of voters carried over to possible ballot measures on Arizona’s 2010 ballot with none registering more than 57% support. Successful ballot campaigns typically require at least a 60% level of initial support.

*Most expect Republicans to gain congressional seats across the country in 2010 but here in Arizona the preference for Republicans has not yet gained steam with the GOP preferred by only five percentage points on a congressional ballot test. That’s the same percentage difference between the parties sampled in the poll.

The poll had a margin of error of +/-4% with a 95% confidence rate. Sixty percent of the respondents were fromMaricopa County, 15 percent from Pima County and 25 percent from outside of the Phoenix and Tucson areas. To interview Mr. Cardon or for additional questions, please contact Jason Rose.

Phoenix Magazine interviews Clint Bolick about his attacks on Sheriff Arpaio

It's a bit of a stretch to try and claim that both Clint Bolick/Goldwater Institute and Sheriff Arpaio are both of the same right wing vein, as Jana Bommersbach does in this interview with Bolick for Phoenix Magazine. Bolick and the Goldwater Institute are libertarian. Sheriff Arpaio is a law and order conservative. So it's not much of a surprise that open borders Bolick is critical of Arpaio's tough on crime stance. Arpaio has done a lot of good for this community and polls highly locally (as well as nationally). If Bolick doesn't like it, he can vote him out, but we doubt that will happen because Arizonans like Arpaio's aggressive approach to enforcing the law. After all, for every crime a criminal gets caught for, there are around 10 more he never gets caught for.

Supervisors successfully control court decisions they're involved in by giving court its $340 million new tower

You have to give them credit for savviness. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has bought off the judges by giving them a state-of-the-art new $340 million court tower in the midst of a recession, while other county agencies including law enforcement are forced by the Supervisors to cut their budgets by 15%. Judges will receive penthouse offices in this Taj Mahal. This deal has made the Supervisors virtually untouchable in the courts - lawsuits against them by other county officials, including criminal prosecutions, go nowhere. When Supervisor Don Stapley was indicted by the County Attorney's office on 118 counts of financial fraud, Presiding Judge Barbara Mundell called a judge out of retirement who despises the County Attorney's Office to handle the prosecution! That judge, Kenneth Fields, a Democrat predictably dismissed 51 of the 118 counts earlier this week.

And just yesterday, another judge Mundell pulled out of retirement for favors, Donald Daughton, a Democrat of course, upheld the Supervisors' power grab to fire the County Attorney from representing them in civil cases and hire their own group of civil attorneys.

What is also working to the Supervisors' advantage is years of judicial appointments by liberal Democrat governor Janet Napolitano. The judiciary is now dominated by left-leaning judges who despise the likes of conservative county officials like Arpaio, Thomas, and Hoskins (we'd mention the county superintendent and assessor but they were already chased out of office by the Supervisors and have since been replaced). Wonder if Sheriff Arpaio regrets endorsing Janet Napolitano for governor back in 2002? His endorsement no doubt put her over the top. Now her liberal judges rule against him time and time again.

Our tax dollars are paying for this court tower and these judges to defend the Supervisors. Every day there is another story in the newspaper about the Supervisors' scandals. They are at war with almost every other elected county official. Notably, the other county officials aren't at war with each other, only the Supervisors. It is clear who is causing the problems and it needs to stop. Fortunately, we have heard that there will be some real challengers running against these crooks next election.

AZ Bar Association awards go to LEFTISTS

Another reason why the AZ Bar Association, which all attorneys are required to be a member of in order to practice law in Arizona, needs to be reformed. Not only is the Bar run by the far left and criminal defense attorneys (which tend to be synonymous), but members' dues go for left wing political causes and as you can see here, to promote and recognize left wing activists. Virtually all of the Bar's annual awards go to left wing Democrats, and many of the awards are for politically correct causes. Arizona is a right to work state. It is absurd that attorneys are required to pay dues to this left wing union which so brazenly uses its members' dues to promote the left wing agenda.

Member of the Year Award - Daniel McAuliffe
A classic case of the Bar giving its own leadership awards. McAuliffe is a former Bar president and left wing Democrat who oversaw the ginning up of 13 complaints against County Attorney Andrew Thomas, which were all eventually dismissed as groundless. McAuliffe attacked Thomas viciously numerous times in the press, during the investigations, arguably violating numerous ethics rules.

James A. Walsh Outstanding Jurist Award - Hon. Ruth McGregor
McGregor is a former Democrat Chief Justice of the AZ Supreme Court.

Sharon A. Fullmer Legal Aid Attorney of the Year Award - Rachel Wilson
The title of the award says it all - Legal Aid is a radical leftist group that receives funding from the AZ State Bar to provide free legal representation for criminals and politically correct causes. Ms. Wilson's website reveals that she is one of the most far left attorneys out there - a public defender championing immigration representation.

Tom Karas Criminal Justice Award - Bruce S. Griffen
The criminal defense attorneys who control the bar set up their own award for themselves. Griffen is a left wing criminal defense attorney in Flagstaff.

Michael C. Cudahy Criminal Justice Award - Barbara La Wall
In a pretense not to look biased, this award goes to a prosecutor. But not to a prosecutor who is really tough on crime or a Republican. This one goes to Pima County Attorney Barbara La Wall, a Democrat feminist with a reputation for being soft on crime.

Judicial Award of Excellence - Hon. Wendy S. Morton
Although this Scottsdale City Court judge is registered as an Independent, you can bet she is liberal, due to her history of prosecuting sex crimes and serving on the board of the AZ Bar's left wing AZ Foundation for Legal Services & Education, an arm of the Bar that exists to dole out members' dues to left wing organizations.

Award of Special Merit - John W. Rogers
This guy just won the Bar's President's Award last year, which is awarded to someone the State Bar president picks. Last year the Bar president was left wing criminal defense attorney Ed Novak. Obviously this Rogers guy is really greased in with the bar and criminal defense attorneys who control it in order to get yet another award a year later. He works for Perkins Coie in litigation, nothing that jumps out as awardworthy. He's most likely a Democrat but we're unable to confirm.

Outstanding Young Lawyer Award - Victoria Tandy
She's not that outstanding of a lawyer if she doesn't bother to vote. She's not registered to vote. It's obvious why she got the award, she was a translator for the left wing Arizona Justice Project, which opposes the death penalty. She used to work for the large left wing firm Quarles Brady and is a member of the International Law group of the Bar, which is generally a left wing group.

Distinguished Public Lawyer Award - Chris Straub
Probably a Republican, but known for following the dictates of his liberal feminist boss Barbara LaWall.

Career Achievement Award - Public Lawyer - Nancy E. Logan
Not content to just have one award for government lawyers at the public trough, the Bar has a second redundant award. It would be one thing if this award went to a prosecutor, which is a necessary function of government. But no, of course these awards are reserved for civil government attorneys, who are usually Democrats. Logan is a Democrat who is now practicing disability law.

President's Award - Jessica Funkhouser
Known for her work for Democrats and turncoat Republican politicians, it is no surprise that she is a buddy of the last Bar president.

President's Award - Patrick J. McGroder III
His bio says he works at Gallagher & Kennedy, one of the largest left wing law firms in AZ. His activities include politically correct causes like domestic violence activism.

President's Award - Pamela A. Treadwell-Rubin
Another Democrat and past bar president. And another example of the Bar giving its own staff awards.

Hon. John R. Sticht Excellence in Disabilities Accessibility Award - Mesch, Clark & Rothschild

Hon. John R. Sticht Excellence in Disabilities Accessibility Award - Quarles & Brady
One of the most left-leaning, powerful, large law firms in the state

Award of Appreciation (non-lawyer) - Bennie R. Click
Former AZ Bar board member. Yet another example of the Bar giving awards to its own staff.

Hal Israel Community Service Award - Linda Dayish Benally
This Democrat obviously got the award because of her activism promoting diversity. She is on the Bar's Diversity Task Force.

Continuing Legal Education Award - Robert B. Van Wyck
Another case of the Bar giving its own staff awards. Van Wyck, a Democrat, is the Bar's past Chief Counsel, known for his witchhunt against County Attorney Andrew Thomas last year over 13 complaints that were all eventually dismissed.

Committee on Minorities and Women in the Law Award - Shelli Soto
This left wing award given to this Democrat needs no explanation. Where is the equivalent award on the right, like the Committee on Individual Rights Award?

Rep. Crump's angry letter to RNC Chair Michael Steele about Pullen & his support for a tax increase

From: Sam Crump
Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 9:12 AM
To: 'Chairman@gop.com'
Subject: Msg from Arizona State Rep. Sam Crump regarding Randy Pullen.

Good morning-

This is a message from Arizona State Rep. Sam Crump to Republican National Chairman Michael Steele.

Chairman Steele, you and I met a couple years ago here in Arizona. I am writing to you because I want you to be aware of recent unacceptable conduct by Arizona Republican Chairman and National Republican Treasurer Randy Pullen.

At last Monday's meeting of my District's Republican Committee, Mr. Pullen showed up and gave a speech which completely maligned me and my State Senator, Pamela Gorman. Apparently, Mr. Pullen did not like our opposition votes on the recent State budget. Regardless of his personal views, I find it outrageous that a State Chairman (and a National Treasurer) would appear in a legislator's own district and berate them in front of their own precinct committeemen.

I also want you to know that I was not previously an enemy of Mr. Pullen. In fact, I endorsed him and voted for him in his contentious race for State Chairman. But I will not remain silent in light of Mr. Pullen's recent attacks. I believe his conduct is outside his proper role as State Chairman and brings discredit upon the office and the party.

If you would like to see a blog account of what happened, please visithttp://www.seeingredaz.com/ which has an accurate report of what happened.

I welcome your response.

Sincerely,

Representative Sam Crump

District 6

Maricopa: Worst Run County in America

Submitted by a reader

Remember 1994? We were in a recession and Maricopa County was in desperate times. The County Treasurer was sounding the alarm on mismanagement and overspending. The Board of Supervisors (BOS) claimed they didn’t know there was a problem, the county manager said everything was fine. Sound familiar? Don’t worry, be happy. Every little thing is gonna be alright. Just as the national and local economy took an upturn, primarily because of the natural cycle, the BOS hires a super hero, a liberal from New York, David “control freak” Smith. We’ll call him Macho-Liberal, or ML for short.

Smith came in and took credit for the economic upturn his first year, even though he had nothing to do with it. Now, Macho-Liberal has come full circle and Maricopa has become the worst run county in America. Some things have changed, but the Supervisors still don’t have a clue as to what is going on. What has changed is the County is swimming in cash far beyond the spending limits that were voter mandated. Whenever parts of the county have become financial holes, instead of fixing them, the BOS under Smith's instruction has simply spun them off into unaccountable spending districts outside of public scrutiny, like the Maricopa Healthcare District, and 2-3 more districts like that which consistently lose money every year. It has also grown far beyond the ability of ML to understand. The Board is at war with most of the County Elected Officers and ML is the common denominator. This is so egregious that the Elected Officers took the unprecedented step of meeting as a group and agreed ML is the main problem. According to the Republic, all 7 elected officials are unanimously fed up with Smith.

The County chooses to construct a monument to their own corruption we commonly call the Taj Mahal. This will also make it much more difficult to cut the County into a series of smaller counties, something that desperately needs to happen. To fund the Taj within the spending caps, the BOS attacks law enforcement and puts the public at risk. The Boards lapdog lawyer, Tom Irvine and his firm, represent both the Courts and the Supervisors. They had the County attorney removed from an investigation into suspicious activity because they claimed he has a conflict of interest. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

The list of corruption and conflicts involving this BOS is long and people are sick and tired of reading about them every day in the paper. They follow the typical pattern of crooks - when under investigation by law enforcement, attack the law enforcement. We're waiting for them to attack the Dept. of Justice next. Not only is the Maricopa County Sheriff and County Attorney investigating this BOS, but DOJ is now too.

This BOS has tried to obstruct other county officials nonstop for the past couple of years, and is now fighting with almost all of them. It is all about power, they are trying to take over these other elected officials powers so they can hog most of the county money for themselves and their politically correct projects like promoting diversity. First they went after the last County Assessor, causing him to lose reelection (he was later exonerated in a court of law). Next they went after the last County Superintendent of Schools, Sandra Dowling, ruining her reputation and causing her not to bother running again for reelection (she was later exonerated of all charges except a low-level misdemeanor of hiring a relative - for a low-paying wage). Then they went after the Treasurer, both the last Treasurer David Schweikert and the current Treasurer Hos Hoskins, forcing them to turn over their entire IT department by eliminating the Treasurer's IT employees. Next they went after the County Attorney, cutting the budget for one-third of his civil attorney side, forcing some of those employees to find jobs with them instead. Now the BOS runs its own "shadow County Attorney's Office" as it continues to try and cut the County Attorney's Office further by requiring it to cut an additional 15% of its budget. Finally, the BOS went after Sheriff Arpaio, trying to withhold funding for his illegal immigration enforcement that had been allotted to him by the legislature. At the last minute, they were forced to revote and authorize the money. But they also forced him to cut his budget 15%. Meanwhile, law enforcement is suffering, while the BOS's $340 million Taj Mahal is being built for the courts. The BOS insists on building this overpriced monstrosity in the midst of a recession because they want to keep the courts on their side. As long as the judges are on their side, they will be able to escape prosecution!

It’s time to put Macho-Liberal out to pasture. The Supervisors have an opportunity to get the County back on track.

Horne gets 6 speeding tickets in 18 months and wants to be the state's top law enforcement?

Something is very wrong with this picture. Tom Horne, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, wants to run for Attorney General and has formed an Exploratory Committee. But he's gotten six speeding tickets over 18 months. And two of the photo radar tickets were never paid and got dismissed - don't you wish that had happened to those photo radar tickets YOU got? Apparently Horne's wife refused to identify herself to the process server.

Now, I can understand one speeding ticket in 18 months, even two. But SIX??? Not if you're going to be the #1 law enforcement officer in the state. Disqualified. Someone who shows this much flagrant disrespect for the law does not belong in the top spot for enforcing the law.

Sheriff Arpaio & Senator Pearce to discuss new Sanctuary City Initiative at EGC meeting

From the Coalition for a Conservative Majority.

Each month the EGC meet to discuss current issues. At the next meeting on Sept 3, Senator Pearce and Sheriff Arpaio will discuss and answer questions about the new initiative they are supporting to stop protection for illegal immigrants which currently exists through Arizona Sanctuary Cities policies.

There will also be a presentation by Dr Steve Carol (expert on Mid East history and politics) on the current happenings in the Mid East.

The Executive Guidance Committee (EGC) of the Maricopa County Republican Committee (MCRC) consists of 18 Legislative District Chairmen, five officers, and five members elected at large from the county's precinct committeemen.

The monthly meetings are held on the first Thursday, at 7pm at the State Party HQ, 3501 N 24th St. These are open meetings. Anyone can attend based on seating available. It is likely to be a well attended meeting. You might plan on coming early for seating.
