Board member under scrutiny over mileage claims
Maricopa County Attorney's Office investigates Roger Brooks mileage reimbursements as high as 456 dollars a month. Brooks, a long-time MCCCD board member and Artichoke founder at Scottsdale Community College, says travel is part of his duties and claims the policy limiting monthly local travel to 25 dollars was politically motivated. Records show Brooks drove about 16,394 miles since July 1976 and collected around 2,008 dollars in reimbursements.
