The Goldwater Institute isn’t done fighting with Pima County over economic-development incentives given to high-altitude balloon operator World View Enterprises.
On Monday, the conservative public policy think tank asked the Arizona Court of Appeals to reverse the decision by a Pima County Superior Court Judge that favors the county, saying that the $15 million agreement did not violate the state’s gift clause laws.
When the county entered into contracts with local architect and construction firms without a competitive solicitation, argues Goldwater Institute Vice President for Litigation Timothy Sandefur, it violated state laws.
