Scottsdale Council Race Turns Sour | Phoenix News

Scottsdale’s City Council race is turning spicy as anti-development candidates Barry Graham and Raoul Zubia both accept $5,000 donations from developers behind major apartment projects — right before the runoff. Graham, who opposes big developments, took cash from FalconEye’s David Megdal; Zubia got a check from Axon Enterprises’ Josh Isner. Councilwoman Solange Whitehead calls it ironic, while Graham insists his vote and donation are unrelated and that developers have no future expansion plans. He also accuses Axon’s allies of spending heavily to smear him and boost Zubia — setting the stage for a charged, money-filled showdown as voters decide who gets their seat.
