'Issue of Transparency': Arizona Coyotes' Land Interest Raises Ethics Flags for Gov. Katie Hobbs

John Pelissero, director, government ethics, quoted by The Arizona Republic.

John Pelissero, director, government ethics said owners of a sports franchise may have an interest in speaking to a governor about an expansion, but that Hobbs and her staff should be more transparent about their role. 

“They should be as transparent as possible with the public, with the media, about why they're having various kinds of meetings, communications, conversations, transactions with the Coyotes if it involves acquiring this land that they are interested in from the land trust."
