I can't recall the name either, but he was a Dem.
Neither Salmon or the other guy were attractive candidates.
Salmon was an attractive candidate, he did a very good job in the House of Representatives, and quit after three terms, as promised (we cared about term limits back then. Jeff Flake, by the way, lied about term limiting himself)
Salmon was a mobster. There were dealings in his PROJECT SLIM that were very questionable.
You apparently have inside info on SLIM, so I can't speak to that. But you voted for him?
Hayworth took the pledge for term limits too but felt it would better serve AZ if he ran instead like Flake.
I guess I should have accepted that high paying job in the Symington admin I might still have a job but turned it down cuz there were dirty stuff involving him and project slim.
Symington was being investigated because of who he awarded the contract too for project slim and there was questions as to whether or not there procurement rules/laws broke.
Unfortunately, before the court could get to the investigation it turned out all the prinicipal players involved for mysteriously killed or murdered or died an accidental death.
“You apparently have inside info on SLIM, so I can’t speak to that. But you voted for him?”
Yeah I did. How unRepublican of me s/ Project Slim was after he became Gov.
