Statement by Attorney General Tom
Horne
"An
impartial, nonpartisan judge announced last week that the campaign finance
allegations against me were without merit and I was cleared of all
charges.
Many people advised me to settle, and while that may have been the politically correct thing to do, I could not, in good conscience, admit to something that I did not do.
I'm disappointed by the biased coverage by the liberal media in this case. It's clear that they were more interested in attacking me than reporting the facts. As proof of this I point to the many front page stories that essentially announced my guilt, with headlines more appropriate to another Pearl Harbor attack. And even after I won, the Republic chose to write an editorial that made it sound like I lost, so deaf are they to facts.
To my primary and general election opponents I say this: I hope you're ready because despite all of your tawdry attempts at character assassination, I have never stopped protecting Arizonans."
