• Greg Stanton to Leave Phoenix City Council; Headed to AG's Office (w/update)

    This just in: Greg Stanton, a Phoenix city councilman for eight years, will be resigning his seat to work for the Arizona Attorney General's Office. The news has generated significant buzz, not just because of the game of musical chairs it could trigger at City Hall. No, insiders believe Stanton is setting himself up to make a run for AG in 2010. At that point, incumbent Terry Goddard will be term-limited out -- and the list of candidates vying for the post is sure to be hug

• Mayor Phil Gordon Kills Plan to Give Self Two More Years

    Saying it was a "distraction," Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon has asked supporters to back off a plan that would have kept him in the mayor's office until 2014. The plan, first revealed by New Times in this blog, would have consolidated municipal elections in Phoenix. Currently, half the City Council and the mayor are up for reelection in 2011; the other half will run this fall. The new plan, which would have required an amendment to the city charter, would put everybody on the same

• Phoenix City Council Vacancy: Anyone but Sal DiCiccio?

    Now that the Phoenix City Council has signed off on a staggering $270 million in budget cuts, we can turn our attention to the really important stuff -- the imminent vacancy for the District 6 Council seat. Of course we're kidding when we say this is more important than cutting more than 1,000 city jobs, slashing hours at the city's libraries, and closing a bunch of city pools. That's difficult, painful stuff. But it's no exaggeration to say that the announcement from Councilman Greg

• Phoenix City Council Chooses Sal DiCiccio; Gordon, Baier Flip Flop to Lend Support

  By a vote of 5-3, the Phoenix City Council today chose former councilman Sal DiCiccio to finish the term of Greg Stanton, who resigned last week to take a job with Attorney General Terry Goddard. DiCiccio was nominated only after the council deadlocked on the nomination of Sal Rivera, an attorney at Fennemore Craig. Rivera received votes from Mayor Phil Gordon, Councilwoman Maria Baier, and councilmen Michael Johnson and Michael Nowakowski, but he needed one more vote to get the nod. When

Gullett, who'd been serving as the associate vice president for external relations for the College of Public Programs, confirmed to New Times today that she's being laid off. But, surprisingly, she didn't sound all that bummed about it. "The timing is fantastic for me," she said. "I'll be able to spend summer at the beach a

  Another high-profile hire for Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard: He's just made Tim Nelson (pictured), former candidate for Maricopa County Attorney, his chief deputy. Goddard's office sent a news release out about this a few minutes ago. No doubt, Chewie over at Sonoran Alliance is banging out another missive about Goddard's tendency to bring political types into his sphere.
