The state Attorney General’s Office has launched an investigation into whether several former Glendale administrators accused of mismanaging a multimillion-dollar early-retirement program broke any laws.
The state investigation was spurred by an audit that the Glendale City Council commissioned earlier this year.
The council forwarded the 253-page audit report to state prosecutors on Aug. 23, asking them to review the findings for possible criminal conduct.
State and city officials had remained mum about whether state investigators were pursuing the matter, but correspondence obtained by The Arizona Republic through a public-records request indicates that state officials are taking a long look.
