Vernon Parker, Republicans hoping to fill two vacant seats on the state’s energy and water regulating commission, say they have been libeled by a local anti-taxation group that sent a secretly funded campaign mailer slamming them and lauding two other Republican candidates.
Mason and Parker explain in a letter sent today to Scot Mussi, Executive Director of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club, that they believe the group’s mailer makes claims that “rise to the level of being made in reckless regard of the truth, and given those we believe to be involved, with malice.”
Their letter says the two candidates have suffered “significant damage” and that they will “likely seek appropriate recompense for those damages.”
