12. Public Comment:

    Steven Rasmussen - Tempe Arizona:

    Mr. Rasmussen felt the Commission rendered its decision to dismiss the complaint filed against Janet Napolitano too quickly. He questioned the provision of office space, paid return postage and supplies and cannot understand how these provisions are considered independent expenditures. He feels that the participation of the United Food and Commercial Workers in Ms Napolitano's campaign disintegrates the grass roots effort of the campaign. Mr. Rasmussen feels that a complete audit is necessary.

    Richard Mays - Realtor:

    Mr. Mays restated the aspects of his complaint; including reiteration of the early contribution limits and expenditures reported by the Napolitano for Governor Committee. Mr. Mays asked the Commission to reconsider its motion to dismiss the complaint filed against Janet Napolitano.

    Attorney Lee Miller - Miller, LaSota and Peters:

    Mr. Miller thanked Deputy Director Shaffer and the staff for moving so expeditiously to put the lobbyist refund procedure in place. Mr. Miller also addressed the Substantive Policy Statement regarding travel-related expenses.
