Tuesday Hearing For City Crime Panel On Organized Crime
The House Task Force on Organized Crime plans its first hearings next Tuesday in Tucson. Rep. James Ratliff will chair a five member subcommittee to study conflicts of interest in public office and conduct a two day session. Other subcommittees will discuss the Real Estate Department and pornography later this year in Phoenix. The full panel will meet in six weeks to review staff findings on the Mexican Mafia operations at Florence State Prison. The task force, created by Speaker Frank Kelley after a veto blocked a joint House Senate probe, aims to investigate organized crime in the state.
