RTC settlement unlikely to alter Arizona governor race dynamics
Challengers for Gov. Fife Symington respond cautiously as RTC settles its lawsuit without finding wrongdoing or fines. The $210 million suit over Southwest Savings remains a campaign issue, with Democrats Paul Johnson and Terry Goddard arguing the settlement could shift primary sentiment, while opponents like Barbara Barrett and Eddie Basha say it won’t derail their campaigns. A federal grand jury is examining potential charges related to Southwest’s failure.

He notes no admission of fault and hopes the settlement eases his re election bid, while lawyers handle the case. Settlement discussions involve Ludwig estate and U.S. Attorney offices.

Pyramid scheme alarms arise over Friends Network claims
Arizona consumer protection officials say a four level gift plan may still violate state law if money is used to recruit others rather than goods or services. Oregon sues the group with a temporary restraining order in place while Idaho and other states warn residents against similar pyramid schemes.
