Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:21:30 -0700
With Judge Susan Bolton's injunction Wednesday against several key sections of Senate Bill 1070, some legal experts are predicting the law's most controversial provisions will never go into effect.

Goddard: 'I think we could have done better' -- azcentral.com | Story Info
Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:25:14 -0700

"I am confident that the state can win the lawsuits challenging SB1070," Goddard wrote on June 18. "Although by working together our claims would be better, it will now be up to your legal team alone to prevail." Goddard had previously noted his legal team's success in defending anti-immigration statutes, even ones that he personally disagreed with. At the time he sent this letter, officials with his campaign told me ...read the rest of this post

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:47:16 -0700

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:47:04 -0700
The Fiesta Bowl's chairman is blasting Secretary of State Ken Bennett for asking the Attorney General's Office to conduct a criminal investigation into whether current and former bowl employees made illegal campaign contributions. In a July 23 memo to bowl board and committee members, Fiesta Bowl Chairman Duane Woods said “the Secretary of State wasted our time, when he simply should have announced that they found no credible evidence to continue any investigation.” Bennett, in a July 16 letter to Attorney General Terry Goddard, said the Secretary of State's probe left questions remaining about allegations that a non-profit that helps run the ...read the rest of this post
