Conover and Jette's camps have been battling it out in the opinion pages ... The tension was palpable during last week's candidate forum ... Prevailing wage ordinance hits a wall.
My 2 cents: I moved to Tucson in 2018, and so I missed most of the LaWall years in Pima County, but people whose judgment I trust have told me about the unfair practices of the county attorney's office during that time. From what this non-attorney can see, Laura Conover has always acted with integrity and has greatly improved that office, and since I’m naturally suspicious of someone who has recently registered as a Democrat in order to seek office in an overwhelmingly Democratic county (as her opponent allegedly has), I intend to vote for Ms. Conover.
I cannot support Conover. Her ethical violations and her response to the Bar disciplinary action against her show she has no understanding of her responsibility to the public. She misleads the public repeatedly. She takes credit for diversion courts but she didn’t implement them (LaWall and others have.) I know lawyers who have left the office because of her ineptitude. She is refusing to charge many domestic violence cases so they are pleading thrm as misdemeanors. She is a failure and I’m sad because I supported her when she ran last time. She blames everyone else for her failures and never admits that she is the problem.

Sounds like LaWall & Conover could use some new hinges:)

The link to Conover’s financial report goes to Jette. Do you have the correct link?
Sorry about that, Corinne! I checked them several times and somehow didn't catch that. You can find her report here: http://electionfilings.pima.gov:8889/filings/023-2019/023-2019_20240415092959.PDF
