TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) — Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee is urging Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell to conduct a criminal investigation into Governor Hobbs’ alleged "pay to play" actions.
“As the Treasurer of Arizona, I am responsible for overseeing, safekeeping, and managing the State of Arizona’s securities and investments, which are duties I take seriously. Arizona taxpayers need financial accountability and deserve to know how their money is being spent,” said Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee. “Providing state dollars to political donors is a grave misuse of public funds. “Pay to play” and special favors have no place in state government.”
In a press release, Yee’s office says recent media reports have shed light on potential wrongdoing involving Governor Hobbs’ Office, the Arizona Department of Child Safety, and political donors.
“The Attorney General wrongfully asserted that she has singular control over any investigation. I have requested a separate investigation to be conducted by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office," said Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee. “The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has separate jurisdiction in this matter and the current investigation by the Attorney General’s Office raises concerns of potential ethical conflicts of interest in representing state agencies and officials involved in the alleged scheme.”
