MCAO comms director resigns, Adel should follow suit
Today, Maricopa County Attorney’s Office (MCAO) Communications Director Jennifer Liewer resigned. Her heated resignation comes as County Attorney Allister Adel is embroiled in scandals and allegations of mismanagement and dereliction of duty.
Mass Liberation Arizona issued the following statement:
“The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office is in complete shambles. Today, we have another resignation to add to the list of high-level staff who have left MCAO. While the staff jump ship, Allister Adel is missing in action. With multiple multi-million dollar lawsuits (from people falsely charged by her office and her own staff) and an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, it is long past time for Adel to resign.
“It is our right to have fully functioning elected officials who show up for work and abide by the rules. We demand Adel’s immediate resignation so a competent replacement can be elected to clean house and address all the harm Adel has caused. If she won’t leave, we, as members of Liberate Arizona PAC, will mount a recall; we will not stand by while Adel continues to trample our rights.”
