Mecham recall settlement fuels impeachment cost dispute
The Arizona dispute centers on a $500000 recall settlement and whether Mecham can amend his claim or refile in Superior Court. Mecham says the suit would be costlier in Superior Court, while lawmakers weigh reimbursement. Senate approved the $500000, House objections linger as Sentate impeachment precedent resurfaces. Symington plans to sign, with Mecham arguing entitlement based on the 1988 vote.
