It May Be Cooler In Arizona's White Mountains . . . Headlines = Embezzlement, Nepotism, Removal of a Town Manager

Hmmm... perhaps a pre-cautionary tale about dangers and consequent prosecutions with nepotism and "family" connections in government.

More details on SLFD embezzlement

Former chief also being prosecuted; district ‘lacked controls’

Posted: Friday, May 13, 2016 5:00 am | Updated: 4:38 pm, Mon May 16, 2016.

Staff reports, The Independent

SHOW LOW — Almost four years after Natalie “Tallie” Bingham (formerly Natalie Cluff) was placed on administrative leave for alleged policy violations, the former administrative manager of the Show Low Fire District was arrested, charged with embezzling almost $1.8 million of district funds.

Bingham is being prosecuted with 21 felony counts related to the embezzlement and submitting fraudulent audits.

According to Bingham, her father, former district chief Ben Owens and former assistant chief (and her then-fiance) “had no knowledge of her actions and were guilty only of trusting her.”

However, the Navajo County Attorney’s Office told The Independent that Owens is being prosecuted for conspiracy, illegally conducting an enterprise, assisting a criminal syndicate and money laundering.

Timber Mesa Fire responds to embezzlement case

Posted: Friday, May 13, 2016 5:00 am

Editor’s note: This statement issued by the Timber Mesa Fire and Medical District following the release of the Auditor General’s report on the embezzlement case involving the former Show Low Fire District is being published unedited and in its entirety.

"The Timber Mesa Fire and Medical District is a special taxing district formed in 2014 as a result of the successful collaboration and the merger of the Lakeside, Show Low and Linden Fire Districts. TMFMD is dedicated to proactive risk reduction efforts, medical services and fire response. We value our community and the public trust we have earned. Fiscal responsibility and integrity are the cornerstones upon which we are built.

In July of 2012 the Show Low Fire District was made aware that public funds may have been stolen or otherwise misused. The staff at SLFD, led by Chief Randy Chevalier, took the information to the Fire Board who initiated an investigation by multiple third-party consultants. That investigation demonstrated significant financial issues that should be turned over to law enforcement. In August of 2012 the former SLFD employees implicated in the investigation had either retired or resigned . . .

Since the merger in 2014, TMFMD continues to work with law enforcement to see that any person who has handled public funds inappropriately is prosecuted. TMFMD has built upon the financial “best practices” instituted in SLFD.

TMFMD has added safeguards including stringent internal controls, financial policies and strict nepotism policies, etc. In the two years prior to merger SLFD received unremarkable audits indicating any financial concerns had been resolved and all public funds were accounted for. In the two years since merger, TMFMD has also received unremarkable audits.

On May 10th, 2016 the Auditor General’s office for the State of Arizona released the public report related to the investigative findings of SLFD and those former employees. We encourage members of the public to read the report located at https://www.azauditor.gov/sites/default/files/16-402_Report.pdf. Additionally, an arrest has been made and charges have been levied against those former SLFD employees implicated in the criminal investigation.

Cheat Sheet for Residents/Voters Here In Mesa: What is Nepotism?

Nepotism is a form of discrimination in which family members or friends are hired for reasons that do not necessarily have anything to do with their experience, ...

Strangely enough, according to Wikipedia's definition Nepotism is favoritism granted to relatives.

The term originated with the assignment of nephews to cardinal positions by Catholic popes and bishops . . .starring as a religion-based practice.
All candidates running campaigns in upcoming elections - this is important - and voters and residents of Mesa might be advised to take a clear look inside city government to root out nepotism.
Those already elected - and those aspiring to enlist public support for election to the Mesa City Council - might think it's a good thing to prove to constituents that you place open and honest government ahead of personal, religious and party loyalties.
Do we need a local anti-nepotism ordinance? Or will politicians come clean?.

nep·o·tism

ˈnepəˌtizəm/

noun

the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.

"hiring my daughter was not nepotism—it was just good business" [LOL]

Synonyms: favoritism, preferential treatment, the old boy network, looking after one's own,
bias, partiality, partisanship

Antonym: impartiality

Nepotism | Definition of Nepotism by Merriam-Webster

www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nepotism

the unfair practice by a powerful person of giving jobs and other favors to relatives.

Source: Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary

Corruption, nepotism and malfeasance is rampant in governments

Sorry, but this doesn't pass the sniff test.
In-laws should be included in anti-nepotism statutes, requiring elected leaders to abstain from votes involving family members.
Anti-nepotism statutes were created as an effort to help clean up government and assure constituents that those in power weren't giving preferential treatment to family members when it came to hiring.
Sadly, political appointments are more about loyalty than getting the best person for the job

Take-Aways Here in Mesa for Upcoming Election Season + Past Election Results with Links

City election season gears up
Posted: Thursday, May 19, 2016 6:00 am

By Shelley Ridenour, Tribune Staff Writer

The filing period for city and town offices opened May 2, but so far no candidates have filed in any of the three communities [Gilbert, Mesa, and Chandler] in the Southeast Valley

The filing period closes June 1.

Town clerks say it’s not unusual for candidates to wait until closer to the deadline to file.

All of the positions up for grabs this year are four-year terms.

The Mesa City Council : half of the six members will be replaced in Districts 1, 2, and 3.

In Mesa, three councilmen can’t seek re-election because they’ve been elected twice, the maximum stretch for a person to be on the Mesa City Council.

Exiting the council at the end of the year, according to Mesa City Clerk DeeAnn Mickelson,

are the following:

Dennis Kavanaugh

Dave Richins

Alex Finter

Mesa Mayor: John Giles is hoping to hold on to his seat in the office he's occupied since 2014

Mayor John Giles’ term ends this year, too, but he’s eligible for re-election.

Giles has already announced he’ll run for office and said he plans to officially file on May 23.

In Arizona municipal elections, there is no limit to the number of candidates who can run for particular positions in the primary election.

If more than two candidates file for a particular council seat or for mayor, the primary election narrows the field to two candidates per seat who advance to the Nov. 8 general election.

If only one candidate files for any particular seat, the primary election occurs, but no general election is held for that seat.

The deadline to register to vote in the primary election is Aug. 1.

People can register at Maricopa County government offices or local city halls.

Early voting runs from Aug. 3 to Aug. 25.

Bob Robb (correctly) Calls his Colleagues Liars.

It looks like Bob Robb has finally had enough of his colleagues' lies about Prop 123. Earlier, he charitably asserted that opponents' claims about the legislature misspending the money from Prop 301 or ignoring the courts and voters were "naïve". Now's he's really calling them out . . .

Fair & Balanced > Another View About Contempt of Court + Racial Profiling

Tough-Borders Sheriff Arpaio Found in Contempt of Court. The ‘Finding’ is a Contempt of Justice.

Thursday, May 19, 2016

Last week, U.S. District Court Judge Murray Snow found Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and three of his top aides in contempt of court for racial profiling. It could lead to criminal charges. As a former Maricopa County Deputy County Attorney who represented Arpaio on a racketeering case, I do not believe he did anything wrong. He’s an ethical straight-shooter — I don’t believe he’s ever even gotten a speeding ticket. I strongly suspect he’s been targeted for espousing a conservative position in law enforcement, particularly on the defense of our borders.

I also know Arpaio’s former Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan, included in the judgment, primarily from working with him on Arpaio’s reelection campaign. Like Arpaio, he has a high ethical character, and am convinced he has been targeted for his association with Arpaio.

I have written previously about Judge’s Snow’s proceedings against Arpaio, here andhere. The Department of Justice started investigating Arpaio’s office in 2008 over allegations of racial profiling when arresting illegal immigrants. I’ve written frequently about how the Department of Justice targets prominent conservatives, a practice former DOJ prosecutor Sidney Powell exposes in her book Licensed to Lie. Using the legal system to target conservatives is becoming more and more common, since progressives control much of the judiciary and even many prosecutorial offices.
