INTERVIEW WITH DEAN MARTIN: "Chicken Little...was right"

By Evan Brown, PolitickerAZ.com Reporter

State Treasurer Dean Martin invoked the ire of Governor Janet Napolitano yesterday by announcing that the state would be flat broke by early May. Napolitano's office claims that Martin is "not privy to enough information to make accurate predictions," and that his is merely a "ministerial position." Now Martin tells Politicker AZ his side of the story, including his views on how the state got into this situation, how it can be fixed and how the answer isn't to "kill the messenger."
