This is it!  The final stretch!  Work hard now so we can rejoice later.  Pearce still hasn’t answered those questions with regard to corruption in the Fiesta Bowl scandal with regard to thousands of dollars.

He is among several politicians listed as having received campaign contributions from Fiesta Bowl employees. According to the report, the bowl then illegally reimbursed employees for those donations.

No one has suggested Pearce was aware of that arrangement, however. The report lists three contributions totaling $1,025 made to Pearce by top Fiesta Bowl officials in 2009.

Pearce also participated in several football trips paid for by the bowl. For example, he and his wife, LuAnn, were among a party that went to Chicago in October 2005, staying at the Ritz-Carlton hotel and attending a presentation called “Arizona’s College Bowl Impact Forum.”

That meeting and similar ones on other trips were designed to fulfill requirements that the trip be “educational” in nature, according to the report.

Exact dollar amounts spent on individuals for these trips are not listed, nor are all the football trips discussed in detail.

The overall tab for the Chicago trip was $18,000 and another one, to Boston in 2008, cost the Fiesta Bowl $65,000, according to the report.
