Since at least last spring, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office has conducted an investigation involving Phoenix Councilman Michael Nowakowski, The Arizona Republic has confirmed with several public officials.
While the exact nature of the investigation is unclear, the Attorney General’s Office requested public records from the city that correspond with the city’s work on a downtown land sale, one that sparked wide concern about Nowakowski’s involvement.
Public records and statements obtained by The Republic in recent days are the first public confirmation of a probe.
