I, Jamie Weinhauer Martin, will share my story so that you might
understand why I have determined there is a governance performance
problem within the State of Arizona’s Maricopa County. I suspect this
governance issue exists in other Arizona Counties based on my
conversations with people living in other counties. This issue may be
more widespread than I think. That said, I have contained this story to
my experiences with Maricopa County issues, which included interfaces
with State and County personnel.

The story is long and convoluted. The issues are many and complex.

I have tried to accommodate the interests of various readers by
organizing the material in a way that is, I hope, comfortable for you,
the reader. There are two separate documents that interface with each
other to tell the complete story. The first document, this story,
explains how data was obtained. The second document, the governance
piece, explains why I believe the data suggests a governance problem.

My story is told from the first-person perspective. I will be sharing
the content of some of my conversations (verbally and digitally) with
government personnel. I am intentionally withholding the names of
government employees (excluding elected officials) to prevent unintended
consequences. During my interfaces, I always felt like the employee was
trying to do the right thing. Unfortunately, doing the right thing from
his/her perspective may be the wrong thing from the citizen’s
perspective. Many conversations were frustrating, but my goal is to fix
the processes, not blame people.

The separate document addressing governance gaps was far more difficult
to develop than my first-hand account. Normally, CAP investigations are
conducted from within the organizational entity where there is
unrestrained access to policies, procedures and personnel to determined
what happened and why. As a member of the public, I was an outsider
looking into the entity trying to collect as much information as
possible to make a fair assessment of performance.

I questioned whether I could judge their performance based on my
experience; I had a lot of CAP experience. However, that didn’t seem
ethical and could be disregarded as being biased by someone that didn’t
agree with my conclusions.

I selected the Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government
(May 2025) as the benchmark for my assessment of Maricopa County
governance. The Green Book as it is more commonly called is published by
the United States Government Accountability Office. This standard was
created as a result of the Federal Managers’ Financial Integrity Act of
1982 (FMFIA). More information about the Green Book is provided in Part
2 of my story, relating specifically to governance.

I will try to identify a specific governance gap in my story by
providing a cross-reference to Part 2 of my story, which is organized by
Green Book principles. I may miss a few cross references or you may find
performance gaps that I didn’t recognize. Please let me know if you find
a gap that I had missed; I will consider revising the governance
document to show the new gap.

There is a similar cross reference in Part 2, the Governance Gaps.
Should like to understand the context of a governance performance gap
found in Part 2, a cross-reference to Part 1, my story, will be
provided.

I hope you will appreciate the effort taken to make the story easier to
follow will also allowing you to understand the context of the
identified performance gaps.
