Pima County Recoups $9.7M in Federal Funds | Tucson News
Pima County is getting nearly $10 million back from the federal government after a legal battle over funds tied to a migrant shelter program halted by the Trump administration — despite Congress approving the money. The county, backed by legal teams from Denver and Chicago, took the case to federal court, arguing FEMA wrongfully withheld payments for services already rendered. After a court order, two delayed payments totaling nearly $9.7 million finally arrived in late August and early September 2026, allowing Pima County to reinvest the recovered funds into vital community services.

Crosby’s Last-Ditch Legal Gambit | Tucson News
Cochise County Supervisor Tom Crosby is fighting to dismiss charges tied to his role in delaying the 2022 election certification, arguing that lead investigator William Knuth’s past credibility issues—stemming from false reports and a dismissed sealed case—should invalidate the prosecution. But the state fiercely opposes access to those sealed records, claiming it’s legally barred and procedurally too late, since the deadline to remand the case to the grand jury expired over two years ago. With oral arguments set for early October, the court must decide whether Crosby’s last-ditch defense can crack the state’s tightly held case.

Trooper Born From Grief | Tucson News
Tracy Murphy, just days after graduating from the Arizona DPS academy as a state trooper, carries the weight of profound loss—her husband Justin, a Marine and motorcycle enthusiast, was killed by a drunk driver just months ago.

EPA Rolls Back Power Plant Emissions Rules | Tucson News
The EPA just rolled back key greenhouse gas rules for power plants, claiming it’ll save $300 billion and cut energy costs—but experts warn this could cost public health dearly, especially in polluted areas like Pima County. Once designed to fight climate change and prevent thousands of deaths and asthma cases, these rules are now gone, potentially exposing tens of thousands more to pollution-related illness or death. While the agency argues it lacks authority under the Clean Air Act and cites reliability and affordability, critics say the health toll is clear and being ignored. State agencies note their own air pollution rules remain intact, but the rollback still signals a major shift in environmental protection priorities.

Chavez Since Sixty-Seven Under Fire | Tucson News
Eduardo Chavez, owner of Chavez Since Sixty-Seven, dodged criminal charges after paying back one customer—but dozens more say they’re victims of the same scam: paid upfront, got nothing in return. One client, Clyde Tull, paid nearly $5K for furniture reupholstery that never started; another, Maria and Tom Thayer, lost $10K on custom curtains they never received. After years of legal battles and bureaucratic limbo, Tull finally got his money back thanks to a detective who’d previously handled Chavez’s case—only to avoid new charges. Prosecutors won’t act without law enforcement referrals, and Chavez now faces a suspended BBB rating while claiming he’s “troubled” by upset customers.

Tucson Speeds Up PFAS Cleanup with Warbird Deal | Tucson News
Tucson could clean up PFAS-contaminated groundwater in just two to three years — way faster than the government’s decade-long estimate — thanks to a bold new deal with Warbird National. Facing a spreading toxic plume under Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, the city is proposing that the Air Force retiree group invest $20 million in cleanup in exchange for building a golf course on land southeast of the base. City officials warn delaying action risks letting contamination spread further into the aquifer, and they’ve already shut down contaminated wells. While community advocates like Yolanda Herrera hail this as a crucial step to protect public health — especially after losing loved ones to water-related illnesses — critics worry about the golf course, even if it won’t use city water. The mayor and council will vote on the plan next week, with the city manager urging approval but hurdles still remaining.

Jon Kyl's Legacy in Arizona Politics | Tucson News

Tributes poured in from leaders like Governor Doug Ducey and Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell, honoring his principled leadership and advocacy for victims of sex crimes.

Lane Myers Plea Backfires | Tucson News
Lane Myers is facing serious prison time after pleading guilty to harassing and stalking Shannon Walker, the wife of a prosecutor — a move he claims was just to avoid jail, citing personal stress. But the judge saw through it, noting Myers was well aware of his probation terms. He escalated the situation by filming himself at Walker’s workplace and inciting followers to harass her, forcing her to get a court injunction — which Myers then violated twice. His defense argued free speech, but the judge called him out for “rolling the ball down the court,” especially after highlighting a threatening meme he posted. With an appeal looming and no bail, Myers’ case underscores how probation rules must be taken seriously — even when free speech claims are made.

Three Points Residents Fight Solar Farm | Tucson News

Hoffman Targets Sunshine Residential | Tucson News
Senator Hoffman is escalating a political firestorm by subpoenaing Attorney General Kris Mayes and Sunshine Residential owner Simon Kottoor, demanding full records from a two-year AG probe into controversial foster care rate hikes — despite the AG’s conclusion there was no illegal activity. With Election Day looming, Mayes’ office calls it partisan theater, but Hoffman insists it’s about accountability, warning non-compliance could lead to jail time or contempt charges. Complicating matters, Hoffman’s consulting firm has taken over $1.2 million from GOP challenger Andy Biggs — fueling accusations he’s staging a desperate political stunt as poll numbers slip. The core dispute centers on massive payments to Sunshine, a company that once donated heavily to Hobbs’ campaign, with critics questioning whether the state truly needed more beds. Hoffman also seeks to investigate claims that Kottoor offered a former DCS director a political favor in exchange for approving the rate increase — allegations left out of the AG’s report. And while the AG couldn’t even interview Governor Hobbs during her investigation, Hoffman’s move aims to force transparency — and maybe, just maybe, a reckoning.

Talking to Pets May Boost Mental Health | Tucson News
