Attorney's job is 'finished' at Treasury

A Phoenix attorney who says he was hired to deal with “shenanigans” and other matters at the Treasurer’s Office has completed his work.
Don Dybus, who was employed as a part-time special assistant by Treasurer David Petersen in June for what he described as an assignment to prepare the office for the next treasurer, says he completed his work as of July 31. During his time there, Mr. Dybus negotiated a nearly $2 million payment to the Attorney General’s Office, which has been questioned by the Board of Investment, and labeled two of Mr. Petersen’s deputies as “insubordinate” and not serving the treasurer’s best interests.
“I finished what I had to do,” said Dybus, an attorney with Cummings McClorey Davis & Acho
After Mr. Dybus’s remarks about them were published in the Capitol Times, Chief Deputy Treasurer Vance and now former treasury spokesman Tony Malaj hired attorney Jeffrey Arbetman.
“I stand by everything I said,” Mr. Dybus said in an Aug. 3 interview.
“You don’t expect to bring someone with lawyering skills into a work environment and not expect for there to be some sparks,” he said. “That’s what we do.”
