"Great toucan turds,
people! With all the
pathetic blubberin'
that's busted out
over the past couple
of weeks due to the
demise of former
Arizona House
Speaker Jeff
Groscost, you'd
think the
long-disgraced Mesa
Republican was the
second coming of
JFK. Um, instead of
the scandal-dogged
sneaky bastard whose
shenanigans bilked
this state to the
tune of $150 mil in
the outrageous
alt-fuel scam of
Y2K." |

Costly Plan
To Promote Alternative Fuels Jolts Arizona |
|
"Jeff Groscost, the
speaker of the Arizona House of
Representatives and the creator of the
incentives with a 92-page amendment to the
Arizona Clean Air Act of 2000 during a
late-night conference committee meeting in
April, is under increasing scrutiny for his
financial involvement with industries
benefiting from the bill's passage. Mr.
Groscost, a Republican who ran Senator
John
McCain's presidential campaign in Arizona,
first denied and then admitted last week
that he had leased or bought two vehicles
from companies run by Nathan Learner, a
businessman engaged in
gas-to-alternative-fuels conversions. Mr.
Groscost also first denied, then admitted,
that he was taking advantage of the tax
incentives provided by the bill on a vehicle
he leased" |

Not Getting
Alternative-Fuel
Fiasco Fuels Anger
In
Arizona |

""This is an
embarrassment to the
whole Republican
Party," Sen.
David Petersen
said. "Not only do
we have the speaker
involved, we have a
number of
legislators who
voted for it and a
governor who didn't
catch this early
on." [...] House
Speaker
Jeff Groscost,
the program's chief
architect, faces
ethics scrutiny
because he has
purchased and leased
several vehicles
from a conversion
company whose
president was
involved with
drafting the law.
Groscost has denied
he personally
profited from his
work on the issue
and said his only
motives were to
reduce air pollution
and dependence on
foreign oil." |

Master Of
The House |

"There's a rumor
going around that
Jeff Groscost is
brilliant. Yes, that
Jeff
Groscost--Speaker of
the House of
Representatives,
King of the Mouth
Breathers.
The guy who was once
stripped of his
leadership role
because he couldn't
be bothered to file
his campaign-finance
reports on time, the
one who wanted to
put a $500 bounty on
the head of the
endangered Mexican
wolf." |

Four Lawmakers Seek
`Exoneration’ Of
Lyndon LaRouche |
|
"Four Arizona
lawmakers, including
a Tucson Democrat,
have signed a
petition being sent
to President Clinton
seeking the
“exoneration’ of
extremist politician
Lyndon LaRouche.
Signing the document
were Reps. Jorge
Garcia, D-Tucson;
David Farnsworth,
R-Globe; Jeff
Groscost,
R-Mesa; and
Rusty Bowers,
R-Mesa. LaRouche,
who was convicted of
fraud and tax
conspiracy, spent
five years behind
bars before being
released last year.
He claims he was
victimized by a
government
conspiracy aimed at
curtailing his
influence. Groscost,
a former majority
whip in the Arizona
House, said he was
contacted about
supporting LaRouche
about two months
ago." |
