• Secretary of State Finds "Reasonable Cause" to Believe Arizona GOP Broke the Law

  By Sarah Fenske The Arizona Secretary of State has found "reasonable cause" to believe the Arizona Republican Party broke the law by accepting $105,000 in contributions from a high ranking member of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's staff. The finding came last week, according to public records obtained by New Times, and the complaint was then forwarded to the staff of Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, thus initiating an investigation.

  Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard will reveal details tomorrow of the break-up of a large smuggling syndicate thanks to the work of several law enforcement agencies (but not the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office).

    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

Personally, I'm tired of hearing it.
