Board To Hear Paradise Valley Incorporation Case Monday
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will consider East Paradise Valley incorporation by election on Monday.

Attorney John Madden previously filed an injunction to stop annexation, but the suit was dropped after petition action halted annexation.
