Fiesta Bowl attorneys seeking reimbursement from lawmakers over free trips

The Arizona legislators who took cross-country trips and accepted free game tickets, meals and other gifts will soon get reimbursement invoices from Fiesta Bowl attorneys.

Under state law, lawmakers can accept gifts and free travel as long as they are publicity disclosed. And seeing as how much hot water the Fiesta Bowl is currently in, chances are nothing was disclosed when it came to providing these Arizona legislators with gifts to the game.

According to the Arizona Republic, some legislators could be asked to repay the Fiesta Bowl thousands of dollars stemming from a wide range of expenses, including airfare, lodging and meals. Knowing how some politicians behave in this country, it wouldn’t be a shock to hear that they were given other, uh, pleasurable gifts as well. (You know, like free trips to Hooters…the family restaurant.)

Seeing as how no one in Arizona will want to be known as the person who took free gifts from a college football bowl game and not pay the money back, I would imagine that these legislators won’t hesitate to break out their checkbooks.
