Arizona Republican Governor Jan Brewer fired the head of a commission redrawing the state’s Congressional and legislative district boundaries, calling the panel’s work “flawed.”
The Republican-dominated Senate approved Brewer’s decision to remove Colleen Mathis, a registered independent from Pima County, for “gross misconduct” in a special session called by Secretary of State Ken Bennett yesterday. Republicans accused Mathis of Democratic bias.
