Gurtatowski: Arpaio’s leadership is costly

In reading the responses to the first candidates Q&A question, Mr. Arpaio appears to have forgotten that county taxpayers are still footing the bill from a racial profiling verdict over his immigration crackdowns.

The bill to county taxpayers is expected to reach $314 million by mid-summer 2025, including $41 million approved by county officials in May. While Mr. Arpaio claims to respect tax dollars, the facts do not support his claim.

No thanks, Joe, your costly leadership is not what Fountain Hills needs.
