Why is Andy Thomas waiting so long to resign?
Michael Kiefer and Yvonne Wingett have an article up at the Republic about Andy Thomas’ expected departure from his position as Maricopa County Attorney. I knew that Thomas was collecting signatures for state AG as an exploratory candidate but I didn’t know this:
