	This assessment relies on information collected during my interfaces with MC officials and employees. I have also had to rely on information in the public domain. This type of information was less than ideal for assessment purposes, but it was all that was available given that Maricopa County did not create the documents needed for a more accurate assessment. Therefore, this assessment has relied on the quantity of information, not the quality of information.

	I began this journey with somewhat of a partisan perspective. I didn't seek to change election outcomes. I wanted to know what actions Maricopa County had taken to address the numerous election-related anomalies reported in 2020, 2022, 2024 and 2025 elections. This is consistent with my CAP experience.

This is consistent with my CAP experience. My focus shifted towards the lack of an effective method to file complaints with Maricopa County. My scope grew to all Arizona counties when my peers in other Arizona counties echoed by concerns about the less than adequate responsiveness to citizen's concerns.

	This became a bipartisan issue when I realized the tendency for counties to stonewall it citizens is widespread and most complaints do not have partisan origins. I am seeking bipartisan support for this bill for the benefit of all Arizona citizens. Citizens only have a voice if the County gives thoughtful consideration to their concerns.

			The contributors to this site believe it is the Arizona County processes that are broken, not the County employees. This website assesses County performance as a public stakeholder with a vested interest in county governance.

			Our assessment was impeded by a lack of transparency. Maricopa claims they are under no obligation to create documents unless specified as a requirement within the Arizona Revised Statutes according to a Maricopa County's legal team's Defense Brief in a court case with me, Jamie Weinhauer Martin, as the Plaintiff claiming the county had not fulfilled my Public Records Request.

			This assessment relies on information collected during my interfaces with MC officials and employees. I have also had to rely on information in the public domain. This type of information was less than ideal for assessment purposes, but it was all that was available given that Maricopa County did not create the documents needed for a more accurate assessment. Therefore, this assessment has relied on the quantity of information, not the quality of information.
			None of the findings of this report are of sufficient detail to identify misconduct or fraud. In fact, we believe all of MC employees are doing their best to adhere to the expectations of an organization with deficient governance practices.
			We identified numerous examples of poor governance during our assessment. In fact, there were too many to fix at one time; it would be too disruptive to County services to attempt such a lofty goal. Instead, good governance would prioritize governance problems and implement improvements within the budgetary constraints.

			In our opinion, the fundament governance gap is a lack of responsiveness to citizen complaints about poor governance. We have been unable to identify a publicly accessible county process that 1) receives and tracks citizen complaints, 2) performs a compliance review to determine the significance of the problem, 3) assigns responsibility to an individual when a deficiency must be resolved, 4) investigates the issue, 5) creates corrective actions based on the cause of the problem, and 6) monitors the implementation and effectiveness of corrective actions. Process steps 1, 2 and 3 are the '''''Complaint Process''''' and steps 4, 5 and 6 are the '''''Corrective Action Process'''''. If implemented together, public trust in County increases by formally acknowledging their concerns and County performance improves with the implementation of each corrective action.
