Bilsten Blasted

 The Arizona Republic is running a story today on Councilwoman Peggy Bilsten’s use of a city employee to paint her house.

Bilsten, who allegedly threatened an aide, Susan Fitch, with a loss of her job, had Fitch paint her kitchen and living room while she was on taxpayers’ time. And the plot thickens as allegations expand to include express-shipping pain pills to vacation homes and deleting emails that were part of a public records requests.

Reading the article, it appears to become another case of “she said, she said.”
