From opinion columnist elviadiaz1: The Maricopa County Attorney's Office needs someone trustworthy and experienced to lead, now that Allister Adel has finally resigned.
Now it’s time to focus on her replacement – somebody who can handle the deep turmoil she’s leaving behind after three tumultuous years leading the state’s largest prosecutorial agency.Her personal and professional troubles were simply insurmountable. Those troubles kicked into high gear after she checked into rehab last summer for alcohol abuse, anxiety and an eating disorder, and culminated with her office botching 180 misdemeanor cases.
Surely, the supervisors have already been thinking of potential candidates to lead the office, even if on an interim basis. They’ve been pondering what power they had over a fellow elected leader like Adel since she began ignoring calls to resign.
