		<description><![CDATA[Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery, who is wrapping up an eight-month investigation into the Fiesta Bowl scandal, will ask lawmakers to overhaul the state’s lobbying laws, saying financial reporting requirements are confusing and out of touch with what he believes the public demands of its elected officials.<br /><br />
“If it’s too much of a burden for an elected official to keep the public informed … they shouldn’t be in office,” the county’s top prosecutor told the Arizona Capitol Times. “If you don’t want to do this, then go do something else.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It looks like Buz Mills just made a huge campaign contribution to his opponents. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on May 21 upheld the matching funds provision of Arizona’s Clean Elections system, a ruling that will likely inject millions of dollars into the governor’s race and other high-profile campaigns.
