On the day Pearce's racist pal kills 4, the AZ legislature votes to give him $261K

[kpete]

........Before he became the face of the National Socialist Movement in Arizona, Ready was a former precinct committeeman and failed candidate for the Mesa City Council. In that 2006 race he was endorsed by Senator Russell Pearce, a crazy-uncle lunatic we used to think of as just that, but by 2006 the mean-spirited old fart was consolidating his grip on the gonads of the religious tea party buttholes who now dominate state politics about 2:1.

Pearce is running for a Senate seat again, while he blaths his nativist blather on the Ban Amnesty Now radio program. How is that possible? And it might help old Russ even more to have a few extra coins in his war chest, so yesterday a legislative committee added an amendment to SB 1449, the same bill that creates more recall hurdles, that will allow the disgraced but shameless Senator to collect the $261,000 he spent on his losing recall election. Not that it was his money or anything.

An Arizona legislative committee on Wednesday passed an amendment that sets up a framework for recalled Sen. Russell Pearce to seek repayment for costs incurred during the recall election. If Pearce requests the money, it could lead to the state writing a check for about $261,000 directly to the former Mesa lawmaker. Arizona Republic

..............................

There was no public hearing on the amendment, which was written about 90 minutes before the committee met. There was not even a public explanation of the amendment, so that we mere members of the public would know what the darn thing says. It was perhaps the most arrogant display I've seen at the Legislature and that is sayiing something. azcentral.com
