Sins
Of The father? I
Worked With
Whistleblowers In
The David Petersen
Case |
|
"One of the whistle
blowers handed me an
audio cassette that
13 years ago became
a development in the
case involving
Arizona Treasurer
David Petersen."
[ . . . ] "the
recording revealed
Petersen considered
approaching Goddard
about his
investigation into
several felonies he
allegedly committed
as a public official
— and whether
settling a disputed
legal bill with the
attorney general
could help secure
leniency." |

accusations of
fraud, theft of
public money and

of interest laws,
according to legal
documents released

Office that Petersen
used his position to
promote a character
education program in
which he has
financial ties,
according to the
documents. The
records also allege
that Petersen hired
a family member at
the treasury as well
as accepted payments
for speaking
engagements as
