Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas to Board of Supervisors: Check. Your move. Scottsdale cops arrest a guy for allegedly stalking waste-case celebrity Lindsay Lohan. Condos are put on hold in downtown Phoenix CityScape project, taking the "live" out of "live, work and play." West side boosters are nervous after Westgate bar shooting -- come on, that could have happened anywhere, right? Like, for instance, the notorious 24th Street and Broadway area, where police found the body of a 39-year-old woman who had been sexually assaulted and beaten to death. The suspect is 16 years old. This is how the West was won: A roll of dice decides a Valley school board election. Phoenix adds land to its preserve. An Iranian goes to prison for ripping off expensive nuke-plant software.
