Bill Montgomery

Gov. Doug Ducey has a list from which he’ll pick the next Arizona Supreme Court justice. Among the seven names on that list is a familiar one: Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery.

His potential appointment to the court had been met with both protests and encouragement.

Howard Fischer of Capitol Media Services attended Friday’s interviews between the candidates and the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments and joined The Show to talk about what he heard.
