Grant Woods

Former Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods has joined 'Arizonans Against Lawsuit Abuse,' the campaign to defeat Prop 201.

According to Woods, Prop 201 will nullify Arizona's landmark 'Opportunity to Repair Law,' and replace it with a litigation-based laws to settle disputes between contractors and new home buyers.  Arizona's current 'Opportunity to Repair Law,' (A.R.S. 12-1361 - 1366):

• Allows for new homeowners to get their problems fixed within 90 days;
• Encourages parties to come to agreement and avoid costly litigation where usually only lawyers win;
• And in the event that mediation is not successful, homeowners can then pursue litigation.

Maricopa County attorney candidate Tim Nelson has unveiled a list of high-ranking prosecutors past and present who support him in his bid to unseat incumbent Andrew Thomas.

At a press conference Thursday to announce the endorsments, Nelson appeared alongside several of the backers, inluding Gov. Janet Napolitano, a former U.S. attorney and Arizona attorney general; Terry Goddard, the current attorney general; and perhaps most notably Grant Woods, a Republican who preceded Napolitano at the AG's office.

"Tim Nelson is one of Arizona's finest lawyers," said Woods. "I have no doubt Nelson will be an outstanding county attorney."
