Is there some reason other than her constituents’ collective mental density that Supervisor Ally Miller, a demonstrated liar not just on this occasion but on many others, isn’t turned out of office? It’s remarkable that she hasn’t been charged by the district attorney with falsification of records and violation of her oath of office. Is Supervisor Miller specially exempt from the laws that govern the professional behavior of public officials and the rest of us in Pima County? What a disgrace, to plot with hostile outsiders who’ve pilfered the Goldwater name the potential loss of jobs, a new industry, and a higher quality of life for Pima County’s residents. Ally Miller’s conscience must be as empty of substance as her political antics are damaging.
