Thank you for this article Mari.

Now watch out for horseheads in you bed.

Art Chapa was an overpaid lobbyist for Pima County for many years, and was involved in many shady dealings as a bag man for the Eckstrom machine. The fact that Chapa (and Flores) "gave" Eckstrom "his" job several years before he died -- without following any procurement rules at the college -- says it all.

But it says Eckstrom was hired in 2007 to take over Chapa's job -- three years before Chapa died.
So they were both being paid for the same job?

And Chapa was a high paid lobbyist for Pima County at the same time.

This is another example of mismanagement of College funds.

"I guess maybe because I'm getting older, I just don't worry about these things," Eckstrom said.
