  • Request for Evidence
    KORY LANGHOFER Managing Attorney November 11, 2019 Maricopa County Board of Supervisors c/o Allister Adele, Maricopa County Attorney 301 West Jefferson Street Phoenix, Arizona 85003 [email protected] Re: Suspension of Maricopa County Assessor Paul Petersen – Request for Documents and Testimony Ms. Adel: We write by way of follow-up to our letter of November 7, 2019 in which we requested on behalf of Maricopa County Assessor Paul Petersen the evidentiary hearing afforded by Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 11-664(C) in connection with the Board of Supervisors’ putative suspension of Mr. Petersen from his constitutionally elected office. As you know, Section 11-664(C) entitles Mr. Petersen to present evidence and witnesses on his behalf. The effective vindication of this right, however, must necessarily entail means to compel the disclosure of documents and the production of witnesses, particularly when such sources of evidence are under the control of the Board and/or the County Attorney’s Office. To this end, we have set forth below documents and witnesses that must be made available to Mr. Petersen pursuant to the following provisions: 1. Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 11-664(C), which guarantees Mr. Petersen’s right to present evidence in his defense at the upcoming hearing; 2. the Arizona Public Records Act, Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 39-121, et seq., which guarantees the public’s right to review records concerning the (mis)conduct of public officers; and 3. Arizona Rule of Professional Conduct 1.4 which, as discussed below, entitles Mr. Petersen to access the records of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.

C. 20002 QUESTION PRESENTED In McMillian v. Monroe County, Alabama, 520 U.S. 781 (1997), this Court held that counties cannot be liable in actions brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for the actions of sheriffs acting in their law enforcement capacities, unless the sheriffs are found to have been acting as “policymakers” for the counties within the meaning of Monell v. Dept. of Social Services of the City of New York, 436 U.S. 658 (1978). Here, the Ninth Circuit has misconstrued Arizona law to find sheriffs to be policymakers for Arizona’s counties in the area of law enforcement, took the unprecedented step of applying that concept to claims arising under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 34 U.S.C. § 12601, and the held Maricopa County (“the County”) bound by findings in a collateral case from which the County had been dismissed years before trial and entry of judgment in that case.

  • Animal Defense League of Arizona Met Repeatedly with Bill Sponsor, Rep
    2012 LEGISLATIVE REPORT AND SCORECARD Desert Nesting Bald Eagle photo by Robin Silver ARIZONA 2012 LEGISLATIVE REPORT In the 2012 session Arizona legislators passed a bill that will allow law enforcement to seize an animal that is a victim of cruelty or abandonment. However, the legislature also continued its annual attacks on wildlife and citizen initiatives. And for the second year in a row, Senator Ron Gould blocked the bill to expand the roadside sale of animals statewide. The Good Bills Animal Seizure Bill The Legislature passed a bill that allows law enforcement to enter properties to seize an animal if there is probable cause to believe that the animal is suffering from cruelty or abandonment. The bill also requires that those arrested for animal cruelty or fighting, after an appropriate hearing, must post a bond to provide for the cost of caring for seized animals. HB 2462 (Ugenti, Burges*, Carter, Hobbs, Melvin, et al) was requested by law enforcement and supported by animal protection groups. It was signed into law by the governor. *Although Sen. Burges sponsored the bill, she voted against it on the floor.

  • Municipal Policystatement
    2011 Municipal P olicy Statement Core Principles ■ PROTECT SHARED REVENUES. Arizona voters created the Revenue Sharing system through a series of initiatives. A portion of state- collected taxes goes back to cities and towns, which keeps taxpayers’ money working in local communities. Shared Revenue funds essential services that residents count on – public safety, streets, parks and libraries—and is crucial to the economic strength of the state. The League and the Legislature must work together to protect Shared Revenue and the local services it provides. ■ MAINTAIN LOCAL CONTROL. Freedom to make decisions at the local level is the best way that municipalities can fully serve their own constituencies. Because cities and the state work best as partners, the League urges the Legislature to oppose all preemptions and mandates that erode local decision-making authority. Quality Communities As the level of government closest to the people, cities and towns have the duty to work with their citizens to create high quality, safe places for people to live and work. From community improvements to smart growth planning, municipalities perform many roles in fulfilling their responsibilities. The League promotes the following to ensure Arizona is a great place to live: ■ TRUST LAND REFORM. Allow cities and towns to acquire trust lands for essential public facilities. ■ SUSTAINABLE ENERGY. Identify energy efficiency and renewable energy as a public benefit that enhances and promotes the health, safety, prosperity, and general welfare of the community. Establish a mechanism for the creation of a sustainable energy financing district authority. ■ PHYSICIAN RETENTION. Reduce obstacles to medical practice in Arizona and address any major issues that affect a physician’s decision to locate or remain in Arizona.
