(The Center Square) — Federal oversight of the Melendres orders, which is expected to cost Maricopa County taxpayers $353 million by 2026, is no longer necessary, Supervisor Thomas Galvin told The Center Square.

Another member of the Board of Supervisors for Arizona’s most populous county is also calling for an end to the orders. Supervisor Debbie Lesko called the cost “unacceptable.”
