Attorneys representing former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas in disciplinary proceedings have asked a judge to let them withdraw from the case because the county hasn't paid them for all their services. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved $100,000 for Thomas' defense in February and management of paying the legal bills was given to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.
For the time being, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors can continue to hire attorneys outside the County Attorney's Office to handle the board's legal issues. The Arizona Supreme Court on Sept. 14 declined to consider a special appeal filed by Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas that sought to overturn a trial court judge's earlier decision that allowed the county board of supervisors' to create its own division of attorneys. It ruled against Thomas on procedural grounds, and not necessarily because his petition lacked merit.
Lawyers representing the Attorney General's Office and embattled Rep. David Burnell Smith will voice their initial arguments in Maricopa County Superior Court on Dec. 6. Prosecuting attorneys from the Attorney General's Office will argue that Mr. Smith, found by the Citizens Clean Elections Commission and an administrative law judge to have overspent his 2004 primary election spending limit by 17 percent, or $6,028, is illegally holding his office as representative of District 7. Under the Clean Elections Act passed by Arizona voters in 1998, candidates who exceed spending limits by at least 10 percent are subject to removal from office.

Rachel Alexander has defended Andrew Thomas in her writings, and her job duties once entailed having to promote the former Maricopa County attorney and the office. But to save her skin, Alexander plans to betray her former boss and accuse him of concealing from her the professional opinions of several senior attorneys who questioned both her ability to handle a politically charged, complex and controversial civil racketeering lawsuit and the suit's merits.
A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has dealt the Independent Redistricting Commission a sweeping victory by declaring that the agency is not bound by state open meeting laws or subject to investigations into the contested hiring of a mapping consultant. The ruling, issued today by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Dean Fink, terminates an investigation initiated by Attorney General Tom Horne into whether Commission Chairwoman Colleen Mathis violated state open meeting laws by contacting fellow commissioners in private to solicit their votes a mapping consultant with strong ties to Democratic candidates and interests.

Citing a conflict of interest, Attorney General Tom Horne passed part of his investigation into the Fiesta Bowl scandal to the Maricopa County . Horne said he transferred the investigation into whether legislators illegally accepted football tickets from the bowl and failed to report gifts as required by state law. The elected officials are his clients as Arizona's attorney general, Horne said, and State Bar ethical rules prohibit attorneys from prosecuting their own clients.
