The AZ legislature is expected to be more conservative next year. Expect a lot of these shenanigans to be addressed, including bringing back the issue of breaking up Maricopa County.
Scottsdale / Carefree / Cavecreek / Fountain Valley would be a county; Tempe / Chandler / Gilbert / Mesa / Queen Creek; Glendale / Peoria / Buckeye; and Maricopa could keep Phoenix / South Phoenix / Paradise Valley Deer Valley; Anthem and Sun City...I dunno...maybe they have their own county called “Oldlandia”....
Maricopa can sink into the rancid corrupt mess it wants to be, leave the nice family towns out of their corruption
