PHOENIX Maricopa County supervisors voted Friday to refuse to comply with subpoenas issued by the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The 4-1 vote following a nearly three-hour executive session with attorneys came amid concerns that at least some of what is being demanded by Sen. Eddie Farnsworth, R-Gilbert, would expose private information about voters. There also were questions about whether the county even has the legal right to give that information to outsiders.
Instead, board members supporting the motion three Republicans and one Democrat voted to direct their attorneys to file suit and have a judge determine whether the subpoenas are legally valid.
