A Scottsdale parking lot drama nicknamed after the Watergate scandal took another twist this week.
Mayor Lisa Borowsky, after an anonymous complaint over her private meetings about a parking garage, demanded records from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.
This week, after a legal battle, she received them – including what can only be called “The Parkingate Tapes.”
While President Richard Nixon secretly recorded his underlings in what came to be known as “The Watergate Tapes,” three Scottsdale City Council representatives were well aware county detectives recorded their interviews on the Parkingate matter.
The mayor, who was not interviewed nor investigated after the council members alleged she acted criminally, said she was stunned by the content of the tapes.
“I was most shocked by a criminal complaint being filed by three of my colleagues,” Borowsky said June 5, two days after receiving the tapes.
“I was very shocked by the personal attack of Jan Dubauskas,” Borowsky added. “I was also very shocked by the misrepresentation of what had been said or done.”
She accused City Council representatives Dubauskas, Adam Kwasman and Barry Graham of “an attempted palace coup.”
As her attorney has previously threatened a lawsuit related to Parkingate, what are Borowsky’s next steps on the legal front?
“We just got the documents a few days ago,” Borowsky said.
“My lawyers are in the process of reviewing and evaluating the next step.”
Even so, the mayor said:
“In my opinion there’s clearly a strong case for a defamation (lawsuit).”
In January, after Borowsky and David Hovey Jr. – a prominent architect/developer who was one of Borowsky’s donors – showed his alternate plan for a parking garage in Old Town. The City Council-approved plan is for a parking lot to be expanded into a $15 million garage.
Hovey told the Progress he was not trying to become a paid contractor or consultant on the project, but was simply trying to help make the design better.
Nevertheless, a complaint about his involvement – and Borowsky’s alleged attempted powerplay – led county detectives to interview three City Council representatives: Dubauskas, Kwasman and Graham.
County Attorney Rachel Mitchell’s office decided not to launch an investigation. Asked if she felt she did or said anything inappropriate about the garage, Borowsky said forcefully, “Absolutely not.”
As the mayor noted, the taped interviews include sharp allegations – and personal shots.
“Lisa’s always the bitch,” Dubauskas – stressing the last word – told detectives.
Dubauskas also said Borowsky was jealous of her “because I won outright.”
More substantively, Dubauskas, Kwasman and Graham told detectives Borowsky and her chief of staff were pushing to make Hovey a “contractor” or “subcontractor” on the project.
Kwasman called violations by the mayor “gross.”
“It feels incredibly wrong to me,” Graham told detectives.
Graham and Dubauskas also suggested the mayor was intimidating City Manager Greg Caton to go along with what the council representatives insisted was an illegal scheme.
The three were so certain Borowsky broke bribery and city procurement laws that, Dubauskas told the county detectives,
“We have done a lot of research – can we just … vote her out?”
Parkingate
According to Graham’s version, Terrance Thornton – Borowsky’s chief of staff – attempted to “pressure” him to help David Hovey Jr. The award-winning architect who donated to Borowsky after her victory – and weeks before a garage contract came to City Council.
Regarding Graham’s allegations, Thornton told the Progress: “Not true, never happened.”
Graham told detectives Thornton asked him to “bend the knee a little” and that “Lisa was pressuring him about the parking garage and delivering for donors … (Thornton) basically says the applicant is a donor. So we want to help them out.”
Dubauskas also told detectives she thought Terrance Thornton, Borowsky’s chief of staff, could turn on her:
“I don’t think he wants to go down with Lisa Borowsky,” Dubauskas said, of Thornton.
“I think he’ll just tell you guys everything.”
Kwasman echoed that in his interview with the detectives.
“Terrance is a key to all of this,” Kwasman said, in his taped interview. “Terrance is a key to all this because he acted as Lisa’s agent.”
On Jan. 28, Borowsky successfully delayed awarding a contract on the parking garage until the next meeting.
Last year, a very different City Council approved two parking garages: one in the Entertainment District and one in Historic Old Town at First Street and Brown Avenue.
On Feb. 11, Borowsky’s impassioned plea to delay the contract “while I find a better location” was soundly rejected by a 6-1 vote. The overwhelming majority awarded a $1.7 million design/pre-construction contract to Chasse Building.
The Progress then published a series of stories on the Borowsky-Hovey “Parkingate” meetings – which former Councilman Bob Littlefield alleged violated the city’s procurement laws.
After the Progress stories, Dennis Wilenchik – a prominent Valley attorney who was previously Borowsky’s employer – sent a sharp letter to Littlefield (and his wife, Councilwoman Kathy Littlefield), Dubauskas and three others.
The letter alleged “a planned conspiracy to damage and defame” the mayor,” threatening a lawsuit if “wild accusations” made in the Progress and elsewhere were not retracted.
After stories in the Progress and elsewhere reported on an anonymous complaint made to Mitchell’s office, Wilenchik in mid-April filed a lawsuit, claiming the county attorney was dragging her feet in satisfying Borowsky’s public records request on the complaint.
Who complained?
One of the things Borowsky was trying to decipher: Who complained about her actions to Mitchell?
The audio recordings shed some light on that.
“Based on the audio, which I haven’t got all the way through,” Borowsky said, “it’s clear to me it was a coordinated effort between the three of them.”
A detective asked Kwasman if he, Dubauskas and Graham “all bring it together forward to the county attorney, this information?”
Kwasman stammers a bit in his answer.
“I believe this was jointly brought between Jan and— it’s hard because there’s open meeting laws that we have to be very careful about,” Kwasman said. “So with whom I have spoken directly with this are Jan and Barry Graham.”
He said he did not discuss the mayor’s behavior with Kathy Littlefield because “we want to be very respectful of the open meeting law … we don’t want to breach open meeting law.
“If I speak to three other members, four people speak about a certain issue, and that becomes a breach of open meeting law.”
Later in his interview, Kwasman told the detectives he, Dubauskas and Graham discussed the mayor’s maneuvering, which they described as illegal.
“When you’re giving your donor a consulting contract onto something that was already contracted for – so we called, we decided to call you guys,” Kwasman said during his interview.
In a separate interview, one of the detectives said to Graham, “the three of you” – referencing Graham, Kwasman and Dubauskas – “are the ones that brought things forward, I think, through Rachel Mitchell, the county attorney.”
“I think Jan did,” Graham replied. “And then, I was reached out to. And I think Adam was reached out to.”
The detectives
Former Tempe Police Officers Dan Peckham and Michael Lane, on behalf of Mitchell’s office, spoke to the three council members individually on Feb. 26 and Feb. 27.
As Peckham introduced the duo to Kwasman:
“I’ll just give you a little background about the two of us. We both retired out of law enforcement, both been 25 plus (years) …And we work in a group within the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office that kind of gets a little bit of everything as far as investigations goes. Anything from document crimes to voter crimes to terrorism-related investigations.
“Pretty much everything that doesn’t go somewhere else specifically goes to us. So we were asked to basically look into some allegations that were made.”
Peckham was more specific in his April 15 report: “I was contacted by Maricopa County Attorney’s Office Investigations Lt. Joe Plummer, who had been advised by Maricopa County Attorney’s Office Executive personnel that a complaint had been received through the City of Scottsdale.
“This inquiry necessitated several interviews of Scottsdale City Council Members to determine whether or not a violation of Arizona Criminal Code or Scottsdale City Charter had been violated by the current City of Scottsdale, Mayor Lisa Borowsky.”
The Kwasman tape
Peckman’s summary:
“Mr. Kwasman said he believed the Mayor, Lisa Borowsky, had violated the City of Scottsdale Charter, regarding Contracts, within Article 8, Section 5, titled Fraud and Collusion.
“Mr. Kwasman believed the Mayor attempted to subvert the contractual agreement as was accepted on behalf of Chasse Building Team, by attempting to move David Hovey into a position to be awarded a future contract.”
Kwasman, a former state representative, told the detectives he decided to run for City Council when “I found out the council leaned pretty progressive and in a city that isn’t progressive, it’s pretty thoughtfully conservative.
“And we were able to successfully, I ran on a platform of public safety and got the police and fire endorsements, and we won.”
After he, Dubuaskas, Borowsky and Maryann McAllen were sworn in on Jan. 14, “the council is now a 5-2 – even though it’s nonpartisan, but for lack of a better word, it’s a 5-2 conservative majority on the council,” Kwasman told the detectives.
“We all … kind of got swept in on this red wave. Solange Whitehead and Maryann McAllen are the minority members of the caucus.”
He stressed he tries to get along with everyone:
“I rely on Maryanne and Solange and their institutional knowledge of being greenies, for lack of a better word.”
“Likewise with Lisa,” Kwasman noted. “I have to respect her time on the council a decade ago. She’s seen what has worked….Lisa is somebody I endorsed in the primary last cycle. And so notwithstanding what’s going on, I consider it a good working relationship.”
Kwasman explained to the detectives the process of the Chasse contract: “that contract was already a done deal … There’s usually a general contractor who then will subcontract out. Once that whole framework is agreed upon with staff and staff signs off on it, great, (it goes) to the council… It’s so basic it’s on the consent agenda. It’s not even discussed.”
Not so in this case, he stressed.
Prior to the Feb. 11 City Council meeting, “I had a conversation with Lisa about this. It caught me completely off guard because … this is not on my radar.”
Kwasman added Thornton called him the day before the meeting that would consider the First and Brown parking contract.
“I saved the phone call because I thought it was weird,” he said, apparently showing his call log to detectives.
“So Terrance calls me to discuss, he says, ‘Hey, the mayor wants you at a meeting … to discuss this parking garage, because I know we know you share the same vision of Scottsdale, of really, of Old Town, of beautifying Old Town and making sure it’s the most beautiful it could possibly be.’”
The rookie councilman, then less than a month into his term, said Thornton mentioned a “work study session” at City Hall.
According to Kwasman, Thornton said: “We’re going to bring David Hovey in … We’re going to bring him in as a paid consultant on this issue.”
Kwasman said that after hanging up with Thornton, he immediately called Graham, saying, “I don’t know why Lisa’s trying to blow this whole thing up.”
The two discussed Hovey’s financial support of Borowsky and other candidates.
“You run for the city council, you kind of know who the big donors are,” Kwasman told the detectives.
“It’s up to the elected officials to say, ‘OK, listen, anybody can give me money – but am I going to act upon anything?’ … And it’s always that,” Kwasman stressed.
“I’ve been in politics for 25 years. It’s always a weird gray area. And when I figured, when I found out that this was for a consulting contract to bring (Hovey) on a project – this kind of rang my bells and had the little hairs in the back of my neck pricking up.”
Kwasman said he then discussed the matter with Dubauskas: “She either called me or I spoke with her on something else and it came up right.”
A few days later, Kwasman said, he took a visitor to City Hall, “and we literally (ran) into Lisa and David walking in together. I don’t know if they drove together, but they were walking in and they took the back entrance into City Hall.”
He learned they were heading to discuss the parking garage with Dubauskas, Caton and others. “So the meeting took place and at this point,” Kwasman told the detectives, “I mean, with all due respect, the open meeting law kind of was out the window. We now are getting worried and I got to talk to Jan and (see) what is going on here.
“You know, this is not appropriate.
“This is – this crosses the line,” Kwasman continued, during a long rant. “You don’t just bring your buddy, the developer in on a project that should (be) done with it.”
After the meeting that he did not attend, Kwasman said, “Jan told me that she was given the plans for an alternative parking structure, an alternative methodology with Optima at the top of it. And, we’re saying to ourselves, this is not, now you’re – this is getting gross.
“We don’t want to come to a legal conclusion,” Kwasman said. Even so, he quickly added: “But listen, I was in the Legislature. I’m an attorney.”
And, he noted, Scottsdale’s elected officials “take the ethics briefing … This is just blowing through anything that even passes my smell test,” he said, of the Borowsky-Hovey meetings.
“We were all briefed … by the city attorney of where the ethics lines are and where we should not even get close to.
“And so we were like, you gotta, we gotta call somebody.”
Which, Kwasman noted, led to the detectives visiting his Scottsdale home.
“It’s your job to decide whether it was illegal,” Kwasman said. “But at some point, if I’m the contractor and I’m seeing this, I would be sweating bullets …”
He repeated that Borowsky’s inner circle “keep pushing it that ‘we need to have David on this. We need to have David on this.’ And it’s just, you know, it’s a big contract to have a big consultant contract, a multi-million dollar contract,” Kwasman said.
Kwasman acknowledged he does not have as much first-hand knowledge on the Parkingate matter as his colleagues.
“Jan is going to be able to flush this out perfectly,” Kwasman told the detectives. “And so will Barry.”
Kwasman advised the detectives to interview Thornton, Hovey and others involved in the meeting.
At the end of his 50-minute interview, he told the investigators to read the Progress story “Mayor Rages Against Parking Plan.”
The Graham tape
According to Peckman’s report, “On February 7th, 2025, Mr. Graham was working from City Hall and was preparing his lunch in the breakroom, when Terrance Thornton contacted him and asked what they were going to do about the ‘boondoggle,’ referring to the David Hovey parking structure design. … Later in the afternoon, Terrance contacted Mr. Graham and again spoke about the parking garage.
“During the conversation, Terrance allegedly said that David Hovey is a donor and they were just trying to help him out. Mr. Graham asked Terrance what could be done in order to work better together, at which time Terrance allegedly said, ‘well, you just need to bend the knee a little.’
“А week later, Mr. Graham again had contact with Terrance, when Terrance asked Mr. Graham to work with him because the parking garage was eating up his life.
“Mr. Graham said there was never a quid-pro-quo made, he just said he felt pressured to deliver for the donors.”
Early in his Feb. 26 interview, Graham said a tide shift happened last year when “the voters threw the entire council out. It’s never happened before. All four people were thrown out of office.”
Graham said his working relationship with Borowsky got off to a rocky start shortly into her term.
After he left a message for Borowsky, Graham told detectives, “She calls me back … and instead of asking for the reason why for my calls, first topic she brings up is the parking structure. She expressed a strong distaste for the project.
“I think it’s kind of weird to have a distaste for something that hasn’t even been designed, but she expressed a strong distaste for the project…. And so I said, ‘Well, what is your alternate idea? Like, just tell me what, maybe I can get behind, maybe I’ll like it. Maybe I’ll love it. Like, maybe I can get behind it. Can you just share it with me?’
“And she didn’t have an idea,” Graham said in his interview.
“She mentioned some vague idea about ‘maybe we could do like underground parking’ … And I said ‘underground is very, very expensive.’ I said, plus my wife hates – a lot of women are like that – they don’t like underground parking.
“She’s like, ‘Oh, well, I don’t feel that way about underground parking at all.’ … She became very frustrated.
“And she basically accused me of not wanting to work with her at that point.”
Graham gave an extensive, uninterrupted account of interactions he was questioning:
“And she says something to the effect of like, why would you, why would you call me to do that, to say that if you’re just going to tell me what to do? And then we just ended the conversation because I was, she saw me as like criticizing and shutting her idea down for the alternate parking garage.”
Graham said he was “without warning” invited to a meeting titled “David Hovey parking solution,” but was not able to attend.
On Friday, Feb. 7, Graham told the detectives he was working at City Hall.
“And when I was making my lunch in the break room … and Terrance comes in and he asked me, ‘So what are we going to do about this boondoggle?’ And I asked him, ‘Well, what do you mean?’
“And he clarified that he was referring to the David Hovey parking structure design.”
Later that day, Graham said, Thornton came to his office “and he describes a little bit more. And he uses phrases like, ‘Look, David Hovey is a donor.’
“And things like, ‘We’re trying to help him out.’”
Graham said he and Thornton discussed how the councilman and mayor “were not on the same page with the parking structure and other projects or other topics. And I asked him, ‘What can we do to mend fences and work better together?’
“And he says, ‘You know, you just have to bend the knee a little.
“Fast forward to the next Friday,” Graham continued his monologue. “… It was Valentine’s Day.
“So at around 2 p.m., (Thornton) stops by again. And we discussed several topics … And then I could tell he was stressed.
“He was kind of worked up and stressed. And he finally brings up the Old Town parking garage. And he says … he said verbatim, ‘Come on and work with me.’
“And that ‘this garage, this parking garage is eating up my life’ … He stated that Lisa was pressuring him about the parking garage and delivering for donors.”
According to Graham, Thornton brought up another case in which a gym owner was asking for rezoning.
“He basically says, ‘the applicant is a donor. So we want to help them out,’” Graham said, quoting Thornton to the detectives.
Peckham interjected, asking, “Was there ever anything said as far as either you do this or something – … like it would end in a result, which would be bad for you.”
“No, it was just a pressure,” Graham answered. “I just felt pressure … it just left me with feeling like, ‘we need to deliver for our donors.’”
Graham outlined how the city handles bids and contracts for projects.
“We have a procurement process for that,” he said. Graham said he worried staff that handles project would be “feeling pressure from my boss to, you know, tip the scales in the procurement process to … to favor (Borowsky) …And my concern about that is that I, you know, I want to protect my staff from improper influence.”
Graham suggested Borowsky was trying to intimidate Caton – then the interim city manager – into approving her parking scheme at the meeting Dubauskas also attended.
“(Borowsky) is the only person that can fire (Caton) and hire him and promote him or not promote him, you know, adjust his compensation.
“So that is where you go – you enter a different realm …So she’s basically saying, ‘I have a different idea for this. I’d like to use this potential bidder’ – and somebody who could potentially influence the procurement process feels obligated or improperly influenced or pressured.
“And the bidder is in the room. He’s sitting right there.”
Asked by a detective if Graham has received “any further communications from (Borowsky) of her disdain or anything like that,” Graham responded, “No. I mean, there’s been … there’s been nuanced, subtle stuff …
“She just raised her voice at me on that day, you know, basically demanding like, ‘Well, how dare you?’”
Following his interview, Graham sent a timeline of his interactions with Borowsky and Thornton as well as several emails to the detectives.
In a March 5 email to Peckham, Graham linked a Progress article with the headline “Borowsky donor pitched $18M bonus for garage.”
After an excerpt from the story, Graham commented: “This suggests Borowsky and Hovey planned to ‘find’ extra money to cover Hovey’s costs for the parking structure.”
The Dubauskas tape
Like Graham and Kwasman, Dubauskas was forceful and talkative, dominating her hour-long interview with two detectives – who asked only a few questions.
Early in the interview at her North Scottsdale home, Dubauskas said: “I get a call from Adam Kwasman saying, ‘Oh my God, Lisa’s trying to give her donor a contract. I got a phone call inviting me to a meeting to give David Hovey the contract to do the parking garage …He said, ‘Jan, this is illegal.’”
Dubauskas was the one to attend the meeting.
The new councilwoman told detectives “I wrote out my notes” of the City Hall meeting with Borowsky, Hovey, Caton, Thornton and Borowsky staffer Yvonne Cahill.
“This is not my first rodeo with employee issues,” Dubauskas said in her interview, referencing a previous job.
Borowsky and Hovey entered the meeting together, she said.
“It was about an hour long meeting … Lisa said, ‘I’m concerned with the parking garage … we have this amazing idea. David, what’s your amazing idea?’
“(Hovey) turns his laptop around so Greg and I can see – and it’s this design.”
Dubauskas said Hovey went over the design, concluding “wouldn’t this be nicer?”
Though in the councilwoman’s telling the mayor gushed, “this beautiful, it’s amazing – don’t we want all the best things in Scottsdale?” – the city manager was cool to the alternate plan.
“Greg said, ‘I’m not sure we need that,’” Dubauskas continued.
Dubauskas said she asked “what would the process be?”
“(Hovey) said, ‘Oh and by the way I have $18 million,” Dubauskas then explained to the detectives the bonus payments from Hovey’s Optima McDowell Mountain Village apartments.
According to Dubauskas, Caton said, “I’m not sure how that would work.”
The city manager then said the plan would require another bidding process.
“I looked at David,” Dubauskas told detectives, “and said, ‘Would you bid on that?’ And he said, ‘Maybe. I don’t know – maybe.’”
He said, ‘I might bid on that. That’s something I might bid on.’
“And Terrance said, ‘what we really had in mind was a contractor.’ And Lisa said, ‘we think you’d be a subcontractor.’…and David said, ‘wherever you want me, I’ll go.’”
The next day, Dubauskas told detectives – as a previous Progress story noted – Caton sent out an email to those in the meeting that the use of Hovey’s bonus payment to the city could not be used on the Old Town garage.
“I had a conversation with Greg,” Dubauskas said. “I said to Greg, ‘Did you hear what I heard? Lisa said Hovey is going to be a contractor/architect.’
“And (Caton) said, ‘In our profession, these kinds of things happen, and what we do is we make it impossible.’ … And I said, ‘Did you hear Lisa say (Hovey) would be a subcontractor architect? And (Caton) said, ‘Well, I don’t really want to get into that, but I did have other conversations with Terrance where Terrance made it very clear that they want David to have a contract.’”
Dubauskas suggested the detectives reach out to Caton:
“You may want to talk to him but he might not be forthcoming,” she said. “He’s in an awkward spot.”
Caton did not respond to a request to comment on the councilwoman’s remarks.
Dubauskas suggested the detectives reach out to Caton, adding “he might not be forthcoming. He’s in an awkward spot.”
Hovey previously told the Progress, “I was specifically asked if I was interested in designing or building the garage, (to) which my answer was no.”
In conversations with Borowsky, the award-winning architect and developer told the Progress, “The mayor asked if there was any way to design the parking garage so the city could continue to use this property and open space as a community asset for the farmers market and other events.
“I volunteered to produce a conceptual rendering of the proposed parking garage with an active usable roof space and stair system that could also keep the farmers market at this location.”
Dubauskas told detectives she was concerned Hovey’s design would skyrocket the project cost.
“We’re talking about a $30 million parking structure instead of a $15 million parking structure – all so we can do David’s design.
“I was not told ‘please do this as a favor to a donor.’ I was told David Hovey would be a subcontractor. But I looked at (Borowsky’s campaign) donor sheet and saw David Hovey was a (Borowsky) max donor.”
“The Hoveys are a big deal in Scottsdale,” Dubauskas added.
Dubauskas told the detectives elected officials were specifically told “we don’t do favors for donors.”
She passed on to the detectives a printout of the city’s procurement code.
Dubauskas told the detectives:
“We, frankly, have done a lot of research on how we can vote her out – but that’s not what our charter allows.”
She said she and Kwasman concluded “she’s soliciting our vote for a donor” – and therefore violating state law.
“We’ve done a lot of research – can we just 5-2 vote (Borowsky) out? But our charter doesn’t allow it. She’d have to quit or be convicted … We’re not sure what we should do.”
Dubauskas allowed she has a poor relationship with the mayor.
“She and I don’t get along. She’s mad that I won outright – she’s that type of person …
“Solange Whitehead and Maryann McAllen are Democrats – they vote together. The five of us are supposed to be conservatives.”
She said Kathy Littlefield, Kwasman, Graham and Dubauskas “are friends and tight – Lisa’s just always the bitch.”
Dubauskas told detectives she was suspicious of Borowsky’s associate Lamar Whitmer being involved in the project. “Lisa and Lamar Whitmer go way back … David Hovey and Lamar have been in business together,” Dubauskas told the detectives.
In her stream-of-consciousness answers, Dubauskas also described former Mayor David Ortega as “socially awkward” and unpopular – which enabled Borowsky to be elected.
And, Dubauskas said, she was surprised the mayor was so interested in the First and Brown garage as “she never came to a parking meeting.
“People would ask questions, she wouldn’t know the answers to them.”
This, Dubauskas said, made Borowsky’s sudden interest in the Old Town parking garage suspicious.
Detectives’ conclusion
Peckman’s report includes “a review of the Scottsdale City Charter, Article 8 (Contracts), Section 5 (Fraud and Collusion),” which states any elected official “who shall favor one bidder over another … shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be removed from office.”
The county detective’s conclusion:
“It was determined in each interview that no type of threat for action either in favor of OR against the parking garage structure, has taken place by any involved party.
“This Review/Inquiry has found no violation of either Arizona Criminal Law Statutes (Arizona Revised Statutes) OR violation of the City of Scottsdale Charter, therefore this case will be considered CLOSED.”
Even so, after hearing “The Parkingate Tapes,” Borowsky’s leadership of City Council faces yet another challenge.
The mayor pledged she will not hold grudges.
“It will be business as usual,” Borowsky said. “Doing the business of our city for our citizens.
“The fact they attempted to stage a palace coup, it matters not to the business of the city.”
As Graham put it to detectives, being a local politician is a test of elected officials’ character.
“You know, can they work well with others? Can they play in a sandbox with others?”
Council members react
Graham and Dubauskas chose not to comment on this story.
Asked to explain his involvement in the complaint against Borowsky, Kwasman said:
“Whenever an official investigation examines the conduct of our city and its leadership, I will always uphold the values of integrity and transparency…When the County Attorney’s Office reached out, I answered their questions.
“The matter is now closed, and it is time for our council to get back to focusing on the priorities of Scottsdale’s citizens.”
