We’d like to congratulate Tim LaSota on his new position as Chief of Staff for incoming Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane. LaSota is the former Special Assistant to Maricopa County Andrew Thomas.
Laurie Roberts says in her blog that he could be one to watch, but she clearly doesn’t know Tim. He is a behind-the-scenes guy who was responsible for some of the most brilliant maneuvers coming out of the County Attorney’s Office. No one will ever find out what he does. We couldn’t even find a picture of him on the web. The Karl Rove of Arizona politics. Good luck Tim.
Tim LaSota: Incoming Mayor Jim Lane is bringing fresh blood into the top echelons of city government, hiring the son of former Attorney General Jack LaSota as his chief of staff. LaSota, 34, is a Phoenix attorney who since 2005 has worked as a special assistant deputy to Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas. (Translation: lobbyist.) People have long been asking who Lane’s closest advisors will be. Now we know.
“It’s everywhere from Costco to going to church… ‘get rid of that photo radar,’” Brewer told the Associated Press. “Everybody that I’ve spoken (with), other than two or three people, they don’t like it.”
We’re hoping she makes the right decision. We don’t know anyone who likes them either – except Governor Napolitano and some mistaken legislators – and we’re willing to bet the Republican legislators who caved on this regret their vote now (those who are left in office, interestingly many of the Republicans who voted for photo speed cameras lost reelection).
