After 19 years as a Maricopa County supervisor, Andy Kunasek is retiring at the end of his term later this year.
Kunasek, a Republican who helped shepherd one of the nation’s largest counties through a recession, expansion of the county’s trail system, as well as the years-long civil war within county government, notified his colleagues on Thursday.
