From the Maricopa County Attorney's Office:
Good afternoon
County Manager
David Smith is demanding disclosure of any communication between several
employees at the County Attorney’s Office and a number of media outlets
including , The Arizona Republic, the East Valley Tribune, The New Times,
several conservative web sites “or any other internet site or address.” A letter
sent to a number of County Attorney employees also demands details of
communications that happened during non work hours using personal
computers. A copy of the letter is
attached. Download Smith letter
The move comes days after the Board of Supervisors stalled a criminal probe of county government by refusing to hire outside prosecutors while at the same time demanding that the County Attorney ’s Office not prosecute potential cases.
Among those receiving the letter
is the Public Information Officer for the County Attorney ’s Office, whose job
it is to communicate with the media.
Mike Scerbo and Barnett Lotstein are available for comment
