B2 The Arizona Republic Tuesday, October 1993 -IHlII ull running for secretary of state Ex-House speaker leaves Legislature, will key on campaign reform I really want to work to make election laws understandable. Jane Hull IN ANNOUNCING PLANS TO RUN FOR SECRETARY OF STATE She was not exactly an ally as we worked on the issue of campaign reform Sen. Chuck blanchard REACTING TO HULL'S PLAN TO PUSH CAMPAIGN REFORMS By Ed Foter The Arizona Republic Former House Speaker Jane Hull, R-north central Phoenix, retired from the Legislature on Monday and announced her candidacy for secretary of state. Calling her news conference at the Capitol "very sad, very happy," Hull said she hopes to make the Office of the Secretary of State "the most responsible and the most responsive in state government." Hull said she would use the office to push campaign reforms, "I really want to work to make election laws understandable," she said. Hull's reform stand raised some legislators' eyebrows.

Sen. Chuck Blanchard, D-central Phoenix, said Hull nearly killed a bill in 1991 that banned campaign fund raising during the legislative session. The fact that much of that money comes from lobbyists can raise election. She did not run for speaker after the 1992 elections, after losing support among Republican conservatives. Taxes were raised twice during her tenure, in 1989 and '90.

Hull was speaker from 1989 to 1992. Hull is at least the third important member leaving the Legislature. Pat Wright, R-Glendale, chairwoman of the Senate Finance Committee, said she will not run for re-election next year. "I've served long enough," Wright said. "I decided a year ago when I ran the last time that this would be it.

"I'm tired." Wright's counterpart in the House, Leslie Johnson, R-Mesa, chairwoman of the Ways and Means Committee, also has said she will not run again. Several legislators are considering races for other offices, but have not announced their plans. "She has never been an activist in any sense," Larsen said. "It gives me some pause." But Hull said they were wrong. "I think I was supportive," she said.

"If I hadn't supported (the bills), they probably wouldn't have gotten through." Hull was instrumental in ushering through Gov. Fife Symington's legislative program in 1991, after he took office in March following a runoff conflicts of interest if the lobbyists have bills pending before a legislator's committee. "She was not exactly an ally as we worked on the issue of campaign reform," Blanchard said. "It's like, 'What were you doing in the Dana Larsen, executive director of Common Cause, a public-interest group, also, was skeptical about Hull's prospects as a reformer. Rides help heist suspect with free transport to jail Fatigue caused crash that hurt 39 on bus, DPS report says Findings dispute driver's statements High court rejects state effort to speed death-penalty case In one of the first decisions of its fall term, the U.S.

Supreme Court on Monday rejected an attempt by the Arizona Attorney General's' Office to speed up a death-penalty case that has been awaiting a federal appellate-court ruling. But Arizona "will keep complaining until somebody listens" about appeals-court delays in death-penalty cases, said Paul McMurdie, an assistant state attorney general who handles death-penalty cases. The justices, without comment, turned away Arizona's appeal aimed at forcing the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to rule in the case of death-row inmate Jimmy Wayne JefTers. Jefiers, a one-time heroin addict, was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend, Penelope Chaney, in a Tucson motel in 1976.

Prosecutors said Jefiers believed that Chaney had given police information about his drug trafficking. JefTers was sentenced in 1978 and has been on death row since, McMurdie said. The high court also refused, without comment, to hear appeals by three other Arizona death-row inmates: Jeffrey Alan Walton, Clarence David Hill and George Molina Lopez. Medical personnel prepare for India trip Volunteer doctors and nurses are preparing to leave the Valley for India to help care for survivors of last week's devastating earthquake believed to have left thousands dead and millions homeless.

In entering the plea, Terry Lynn Magno, 37, admitted that her husband, Gary George Magno, used "sleight-of-hand tricks" to fool people into believing that he had removed tumors, kidney stones or other noxious body tissues. She also admitted that she collected money for psychic surgeries in Phoenix and Tucson in which, according to prosecutors, Gary Magno used vials of red fluid and packets of meat as props to make it appear that he had used his hands, to remove the parts without making an incision. Under the terms of a plea probation, Terry Magno will receive a one-year probationary term when she is sentenced Nov.

Mesa stiffens juvenile-curfew ordinance Citing an increase in gang-related violence last year, the Mesa City Council voted Monday night to toughen the city's juvenile-curfew rule. The new ordinance requires youths under 16 to be off the streets by 10 p.m.

and those from 16 to 18 to be in by midnight. There are no special provisions to allow teens to be out later on holiday or weekend nights. An ordinance that has been in effect the past two years permitted teens 15-18 to stay out until 1 a.m. on holidays and weekends. The new ordinance, approved in a 5-2 vote, will become effective in 30 days.

Activist announces bid to be Tempe mayor Neighborhood activist and former Tempe Couneilwoman Barbara Sherman on Monday formally declared herself a candidate for mayor. Sherman said in a statement that she decided to run because of growing citizen demands to protect and enhance Tempe's quality of life. She served on the Tempe City Council from 1988 to 1992. He then took a taxi from the bank and got out near 39th Avenue and Thomas Road, said police, who did not know whether he paid a fare. The robber then approached two women in a van who agreed to give him a lift in exchange for an unspecified amount of money, police said.

Officers, acting on information about the van, pulled it over near Fourth Avenue and Van Buren Street. The Arizona Republic A Valley man got a free ride to jail Monday after allegedly hiring a cab and a private van to help in his getaway after a bank robbery. Jose Quintero, about 25, whose address was unavailable, was arrested shortly after a Bank of America branch at 5401 W. Indian School Road was robbed at 1 p.m., Phoenix police said.

The DPS, which has not issued any citations in the accident, will forward its report to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. Two passengers, one who lost both hands and another who lost an arm in the accident, have filed separate suits against Greyhound Lines seeking millions of dollars in damages. By Pamela Manson The Arizona Republic Driver fatigue appears to have caused a Greyhound bus crash on Interstate 10 that injured 39 people last month, according to a report released Monday by the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

The report disputes a statement by bus driver Roger White, 41, that he was blinded by morning sunlight immediately before the vehicle went off the road. Investigators say the sun posed no visibility problems at the time of the accident because it was high and to the left of White.

One passenger, Petra Rivera Jo-saino, told investigators that she had gestured to White to lower the front shade because the sun was in her eyes, but she also said the driver appeared to be nodding off as he drove. Investigators also determined that the bus was in good mechanical condition, Enteman wrote. White, who has been a Greyhound driver for VA years, agreed to have blood drawn for drug tests after the accident. Testing is still ongoing, but preliminary results have come up negative for alcohol or drugs, officials said. White, of Bakersfield, has been on administrative leave since the accident.

He could not be reached for comment Monday. Liz Dunn, director of public relations for Greyhound, said the firm will conclude its own investigation after receiving a copy of the DPS report. The one-vehicle accident, which occurred Sept. 10 west of Phoenix, sent many of the 39 passengers to area hospitals. Investigators say the bus drifted off the road, then flipped over when the driver overcorrected.

White told investigators that he had been off the two days before the accident and had slept nine hours on Sept. 9. He began work on Sept. 10 shortly after midnight and began driving at 1 a.m. The accident occured about six hours into the trip.
