Arizona Highway Debacle Sparks Call for Full Disclosure
A congressional probe revealed alleged inefficiency and possible graft in Arizona highway spending. Milton Stackhouse says much of his report was hidden as Governor Paul Fannin faces an election year with pressure to clear the department. Residents urge legal action and full public accounting of costs and contractor practices. A second issue notes Scottsdale fire wreckage from Buddy’s Restaurant should be cleared to remove health and safety hazards. If owners fail, city action is urged to compel cleanup.
