The Arizona Republic today ran a story about Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon putting one of his top aides on administrative leave until he can resolve charges of domestic violence. The charge would be a misdemeanor, but Gordon, with whom I rarely agree, did the right thing by moving the issue away from the work of the people until it is resolved.
Contrast that with the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, who unanimously voted to elect beleaguered politician Don Stapley as Chairman of the Board. Stapley, in case you've been under a rock, "was indicted in December on 22 felony counts of fraud, perjury, theft and forgery in the misuse of campaign funds," according to the Arizona Republic. Stapley had at one time faced over 100 felony and misdemeanor counts. Yet, the Board of Supervisors felt he was fit to run their Board and do the people's work.
This is the same group of Supervisors, mind you, that decided to fire the elected County Attorney, and replace him with a crony, rather than have Mr. Stapley answer to the charges. It begs the question of why, if someone is innocent, do they need to take such drastic steps to avoid answering to criminal charges? I hope if I ever get indicted, I can just fire the County Attorney in order to avoid defending myself.
Mayor Gordon showed leadership in his placing his misdemeanor-facing aide on administrative leave. How shameful of the Maricopa County Supervisors that they promoted their felony-facing peer to the highest position on the Board. It's nothing short of a slap in the face to the people who elected them. A contrast in leadership indeed.
