TIM STELLER CONFIRMS/DOCUMENTS CHAOS, TURNOVER and HASTY PLEA DEALS UNDER LAURA CONOVER
In today's AZ DAILY STAR, Tim Steller details what TCFC has been sharing with our members along with our City of Tucson Elected Officials and Bureaucrats since our founding two years ago. Laura Conover needs to be replaced as Crime is getting worse under her failing leadership. Excerpts from Tim Steller:
"It was news in 2021 when the Pima County Attorney’s Office lost dozens of employees, hobbling the agency during Laura Conover’s first year in charge.
There was hope then that time’s passage, new hires, and a pay increase would change the trend. It hasn’t turned out that way.
Turnover and vacancies remain an intractable problem in 2024 as Conover runs for re-election. The Pima County Attorney’s Office has 77 vacancies, according to a June 16 Pima County report, 32 of them open more than a year. The vacancy rate is 19.9 %, one of the higher rates among the departments of the broadly understaffed county government.
Critics and observers of the office point to a variety of impacts. They say plea deals are sometimes made in haste due to the volume of cases, victims sometimes treated inadequately, and more felony domestic violence cases are being sent to city prosecutors’ offices as misdemeanors."
[...]
Surprising departures
"Among the departures of 2021-22, a few were surprising because they were Conover’s top advisers. One was Tamara Mulembo, who had left the Federal Public Defender’s Office to become Conover’s chief of staff.
She only lasted about 10 months and left with a relatively scathing internal email about Conover, her old friend. She accused Conover of tokenizing her as a black woman and subjecting her to microaggressions." [...]
“You don’t know how somebody uses power until you give it to him, right?” Mulembo said. “And so I had the opportunity to see him in action, using power responsibly and fairly and with integrity for nearly two decades.” [...]
"But the departures also reflect some dissatisfaction with leadership — either with Conover herself or with the sometimes inexperienced supervisors whom employees report to as the turnover churns. [...]
He has supervised attorneys for the Santa Cruz County Attorney's Office and the Arizona Attorney General's office, and most interestingly when he worked abroad for the U.S. Justice Department, in Pakistan and other countries, training attorneys and working in the embassy." [...]
City Leaves Unhoused in Dangerous Washes. First rain brings a death in Rillito
A woman found dead in the Rillito at Swan yesterday immediately following the first Monsoon storm of 2024. Last Friday a day before, TCFC contacted Ward 3, Council Member Kevin Dahl's office as well as other city officials informing them of Unhoused in danger in the Flowing Wells Wash. TCFC was informed that it was on their list of todo's sweeping the wash but they haven't gotten there yet and won't until Monday. Monsoon Season starts on June 15th every year and rain was forecast for Friday and Saturday. We have to notify them every year for this preventable situation.
Why after all these years does the City continue to have Unhoused in danger in washes? Two deaths last year, so far, one death this year.

Stop lying to your readers and get someone on your staff smart enough to learn and understand elementary statistics. Your credibility is zero.
It’s pathetic that we had at least 6 shootings, yet the media only reported 3. This happens constantly. That’s why “crime”is down. If it’s not reported by anyone (including the chief of police) it didn’t happen. We all see it, hear about it and live it! We have DOA’s daily, you don’t see them reported either. Guess it doesn’t look good for the truth to be out there huh. I for one will be more than happy to continue spreading the TRUTH of real life and facts!!!!
Waiting for the right time to move OUT of too-dumb!!!
Unintended, but very predictable. Very sad, but very certain.
