The Arizona Governor?s Office and Phoenix City Hall are just a stone's throw away from each other, but Gov. Jan Brewer couldn?t make it to Greg Stanton?s swearing in ceremony as the city's mayor today.
Brewer was at the Arizona Commerce Authority?s offices in the Freeport McMoRan Building at the time announcing Silicon Valley Bank? ?s planned expansion in Tempe.
Just down the street this morning, Stanton was being sworn in to succeed the term-limited Phil Gordon.
Brewer spokesman Matthew Benson said the Republican governor had some scheduling conflicts that precluded her attending Stanton?s inauguration.
?General Counsel Joe Sciarrotta was there representing the Governor?s Office,? Benson said.
Stanton is a Democrat and previously worked for former Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard. Brewer beat Goddard in a not-so-cordial 2010 governor?s race.
?The governor?s schedule did not permit her attendance today,? Benson said.
