Chairman AZ Corporation Commission Susan Bitter-Smith Resigns

Susan Bitter Smith announced Thursday afternoon that she will resign from her seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission effective Jan. 4.

The Attorney General's Office filed a petition in Supreme Court Dec. 1 seeking to remove Bitter Smith from office. The action argues that because Bitter Smith works as the head of the Southwest Cable Communications Association, the state's conflict-of-interest law prohibits her from serving as a regulator on the Arizona Corporation Commission.

The Corporation Commission oversees electric, water and telecommunications companies, among other duties such as regulating securities and overseeing railroad crossings.

On Wednesday, her attorney filed a response to the court action seeking to remove her from her job, stating she has no conflict of interest by also working as a cable television trade group leader.
Bitter Smith said at a news conference this afternoon that she still wants the case to be heard by the court. She spent several minutes disputing the Attorney General's Office petition to remove her before announcing that she was resigning her seat. 

She said the court action and media attention on the controversy has been too much of a distraction both to her work at the commission and at the cable association. "I feel that this distraction will continue," she said. "The public deserves the full attention of the commission and its staff to the upcoming body of work facing the commission. Despite my great love for this job and pride in our successes, my overriding goal is to insure that the work of the people gets done with the appropriate attention it deserves." More AZ Central

Seriously? Maricopa Cpunty Republican Tyler Bowyer "A Trainer for Turning Point USA"

Seriously? 
by Lisa Beightol Gray

The word RINO is thrown around like confetti at a party and as a general rule I don’t use it for various reasons. However, we all know what it means -- Republican In Name Only.

If our County Chairman is helping to grow and educate another political party, wouldn’t he be considered a Republican In Name Only -- RINO?

I received an email highlighting the fact that our County Chairman works for an organization called Turning Point USA 
( http://tinyurl.com/zkrcqzc ). This organization claims to be non-partisan, but wait, isn’t the Maricopa County Chairman a Republican?

In May of THIS year, a conference advertised as LPEX (LIBERTARIAN POLITICAL EXPO) was held in Nevada. It was surprising to learn that our REPUBLICAN County Chairman was listed as a “TRAINER” at this expo. 
( http://lpex.org/training/trainers )

So what exactly is LPEX? In a nutshell, according to their website, LPEX develops LIBERTARIAN leaders. ( http://lpex.org/about)

And why should people attend LPEX? Again, according to their website people should attend who want to “Shape the future of the Liberty movement,” AND “LPEX develops individuals into leaders so they can build effective libertarian organizations.”

Don’t believe me? Read it for yourself: http://lpex.org/about

Here’s a couple questions for the leaders of the Maricopa County GOP and my fellow Precinct Committeemen/women:

What party is the Republican Party County Chairman elected to lead? Obviously, it’s the REPUBLICAN party. So why is he TRAINING LIBERTARIANS?

I’m not aware of him holding any “training” for Republican PCs. In fact, while he was away training Libertarians, we were less than 60 days away from early ballots being mailed to Phoenix voters. Only a mere 20.81% of Phoenix voters showed up to vote! And this is TOTAL VOTERS, not GOP voters. What could have been accomplished if there was a more concerted effort by the county Chairman to get out the vote? Because of the lack of GOTV efforts by the county party, a liberal mayor was reelected and a MULTI-BILLION dollar, light rail expansion was passed.

So, are we going to look the other way, again, or do we want a REPUBLICAN Chairman leading us? Someone who would actually help to get REPUBLICANS elected. These actions are fully in opposition to all that the grassroots do and are doing to get conservative Republicans elected.

I believe the County Chairman needs to resign. This is a HUGE conflict of interest and it’s evident that he doesn’t have the best interest of our County Party at heart.

How exactly does helping members from another party get elected, align with our mission, platform and values?

Last December, was he one of the yes votes who voted to strip PCs of their voting rights and/or censure them for supporting a candidate in another party? If so, wouldn’t “training” members of another political party how to grow their influence and win elections be worthy of the same fate? Shouldn’t the County Chairman be held to a higher standard? Or does the County Chairman get to lead by the motto, “Do as I say, not as I do”?

Will others call for his resignation? I guess we’ll find out.
