Add the Judges Decision Somewhere

Maricopa County leadership and legal team gained a favorable ruling by the Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County by claiming Arizona Revised Statutes do not require the documentation Jamie requested.

Contrary to the Maricopa County's Philosophy of only documenting what is required by law, the Government Accountability Office acknowledges that Federal Laws and Regulations do not adequately specify documentation requirements. Hence, the Green Book defines in general terms the documentation requirements which is required for all departments and agencies under the executive branch of the Federal Government.

By the Judge's ruling, citizens are effectively prevented from acquiring the necessary information to prove wrongdoing by a County in a judicial setting. The Judge's ruling substantiates a governance gap with respect to documentation requirements for the internal controls within Maricopa County.
