Arizona’s Ban On Mexican American Studies Was
Racist, U.S. Court Rules |
|
""A federal judge in Arizona has ruled that the
state violated the constitutional rights of Mexican
American students by eliminating a successful
Mexican American studies program, saying officials
“were motivated by racial animus” and were pushing
“discriminatory ends in order to make political
gains.”" |

Ruling Gives Ex-Attorney General,
Tom
Horne, Chance To Avoid $1.2M Fine
|
| By

"PHOENIX
-- The Arizona Supreme Court this morning gave
former Attorney General Tom Horne another chance to
escape a $1.2 million fine for campaign finance
violations. |
|
|
|
In a
unanimous decision, the justices said it was wrong
for Yavapai County Attorney Sheila Polk, who
initially concluded Horne and a former aide had
broken the law, to then overrule the findings of an
administrative law judge who said there was no
violation. |
|
|
|
”We hold
that due process does not permit the same individual
to issue the initial decision finding violations and
ordering remedies, participate personally in the
prosecution of the case before an administrative law
judge, and then make the final agency decision that
will receive only deferential judicial review,”
wrote Clint Bolick for the court. |
|
|
|
But the
justices did not absolve Horne of guilt. Instead,
it sends the issue back for a review by someone,
unlike Polk, who is neutral. |
|
|
|
At issue
is $513,340 spent by Business Leaders for Arizona on
a last-minute commercial attacking Felecia Rotellini,
Horne's 2010 Democrat foe. |
|
|
|
The group
was formed by Kathleen Winn, a staffer in Horne's
office, and registered as an independent campaign
committee. That status prohibits it from legally
coordinating its expenses with the candidate. |
|
|
|
The FBI,
looking into other matters after the 2010 election,
came across what it said was evidence that there was
communication. The case went to then-Secretary of
State Ken Bennett who, by law, had to pass it on to
the attorney general's office. |
|
|
|
But with
Horne now running that agency, an aide farmed the
case out to Polk. |
|
|
|
She found
evidence of violations, citing a series of phone
calls between Horne and Winn. |
|
|
|
When they
appealed, the case was sent to an administrative law
judge — essentially a hearing officer — with one of
Polk's deputies presenting the evidence against the
pair. Polk acknowledged later that she “was involved
with the prosecution of the case, by assisting with
the preparation and strategy." |
|
|
|
The
result was a finding that Winn's expenses really
were contributions to Horne's campaign,
contributions that exceeded the limit by $400,000 of
what he could take from any one source. So Polk
imposed a penalty equal to three times that. |
|
|
|
Both a
trial judge and the state Court of Appeals rebuffed
the bid by Horne and Winn to overturn those
findings." |

AG Horne's Checkered Past Might Just Be Enough For
Reelection |
|
"Once again we are being told
about the shenanigans of Republican Arizona Attorney
General Tom Horne. [...] Horne has left a trail of
stink dating back to his Massachusetts law school
days forty years ago. With his history of crookery
back east one can only wonder how Horne ever became
a lawyer in Arizona following his serious legal
issues involving the U. S. Securities and Exchange
Commission?" |

"Picture Elmer Fudd as the

Attorney General Tom Horne in a nutshell. Truly, the
FBI's massive, 3,000-plus page investigative file
detailing its year-long probe of Horne's office
reads like a tragicomic novel wherein a powerful but
goofy politician does a colossal belly-flop into a
pool of sleaze and chicanery, ending any likelihood
that he could become governor someday." |

other things, (a) failed accurately to make and keep
current certain books and records, (b) violated the
anti-fraud provisions of the Federal securities
laws, (c) filed false financial reports with the
Commission."" |

Attorney-General Candidate Tom Horne Denied 1970
Bankruptcy |
|
"In a series of annual reports
for his law firm, Superintendent of Public
Instruction Tom Horne wrongly denied having a
bankruptcy in his past. Reports filed with the
Arizona Corporation Commission from 1997 to 2000 for
Horne's law firm show that when asked if any partner
in the firm had ever been a partner in a business
that went bankrupt, Horne checked "no" and signed
the form. In fact, Horne was the president of T.C.
Horne & Co., an investment firm that went bankrupt
in 1970 and led to him receiving a lifetime trading
ban from the Securities and Exchange Commission." |
