From Parker Leavitt reporting in the The Arizona Republic:
The CEO of a Phoenix-based energy company says he has resigned from his
post after “accidentally” offering a Gilbert councilwoman campaign help in
exchange for her vote on the company’s proposal to put solar panels on
town streetlights.
Four days after the Town Council rejected a contract with Green Global
by a 4-3 vote, CEO Mike Hoffman on Monday sent an e-mail asking Councilwoman
Jenn Daniels to reconsider.
In exchange, Hoffman offered to “take out full page ads” on Daniels’
behalf, put the company’s logistics division in Gilbert and give her credit
for the jobs created. The e-mail was sent to Daniels’ official town
account, which is subject to public-records laws and regularly reviewed by
The Republic.
“What I want is to help you get elected by allowing you to lead,”
Hoffman wrote. “Would be a nice image — Jenn Daniels is then GOOD on the
Environment, A Job Creator, Fiscal Leader and a Tax Cutter. … That’s a
real conservative.”
Hoffman claims he wrote the e-mail as “keyboard therapy,” but didn’t mean
to send it. That’s a really pathetic excuse. |
