Arizona Republic:  “The pension system for Arizona police and firefighters has received a federal grand-jury subpoena to turn over ‘a long list’ of documents as part of a criminal investigation into whether pension-trust managers inflated certain real-estate investment values to trigger staff bonuses.  The trust board of the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System voted at a special meeting Friday to hire a criminal defense attorney to handle matters related to the grand-jury investigation.”

Arizona Republic:  “Abortion providers have filed suit against Arizona to try to block new state rules limiting the use of the most common abortion-inducing drugs.  The federal lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Tucson by Planned Parenthood Arizona and Tucson Women’s Center alleges that the new rules required under a 2012 law will effectively block the ability of many women to use medication to induce abortions.”
