I keep wondering where the money's coming from to pay for Bob Driscoll. ...He's represented by the Washington, D.C.-based Robert Driscoll, a managing partner at the white shoe firm Alston & Bird. Alston & Bird is the same firm helping Arpaio fight off a civil rights investigation from federal prosecutors. Thanks to that task, we've repeatedly asked the county to look into the hiring of the firm in question. (We've got letters showing they've been representing Arpaio's interests for at least a year.) But county officials can find no record of the firm's hire. The theory is that perhaps Arpaio's paying them out of a different pool of money, controlled exclusively by Arpaio -- like, say, jail-enhancement funds. blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com
