Russell Pearce

Former Arizona Legislator tried to get the state to pay for his anti-recall campaign.

Russell Pearce is not going to get a chance to recoup the money he spent on his unsuccessful bid to retain his Senate seat, at least not now.

Efforts to enact legislation to create a method for recalled public officials faltered Thursday when many Republicans refused to go along with a plan by Pearce allies to set the stage for reimbursement. That reticence kills the bill for this session, though it leaves the door open for the new batch of lawmakers being elected in November to reconsider the measure next year.

The funniest thing about this now? He's reusing his recall election signs for the new campaign. He's running for a new seat in a different district, but his signs say "Keep Russell Pearce". I don't know if it is specifically because of the above, but it is hilarious in context.
