GOVERNMENT: RETIRED JUSTICE SAYS NO EVIDENCE THAT PROBLEMS WITH PRINTERS ON ELECTION DAY NOT INTENTIONAL

“Let’s get her testimony in the Senate Elections committee.” — @knpk1955 via Twitter

DAILY INDEPENDENT MOVING TO SEVEN-DAY A WEEK PUBLICATION

“Thank you for filling the community news hole with meaningful and useful information. We so need it.” — John Tucker via Linked In

“This is BIG news for any metro but particularly wonderful news for Metro Phoenix that the Daily Independent by going with seven day per week news coverage is ending a monopoly held by their “competitor,” which pushes an agenda that half of the metro disagrees with and that many find abhorrent. Support nonpartisan news coverage and an organization that believes that you’re intelligent enough to form your own opinions by subscribing. Bravo #AZNEWSMEDIA! ” — Bill Lipp via LinkedIn

ELECTIONS: COCHISE COUNTY SUPERVISORS ON THE HOOK FOR COURT FEES

“The negligence by these two supervisors is not something for which Cochise County taxpayers should have to pay. The damage caused by their negligence goes further than this. Cochise County lost one of the finest Election Directors in the country.” — @AZSuzeQ via Twitter
