Mecham: Worst Governor Ever? (1990)

Published: April 4, 2023, 8:30 a.m.

It\u2019s April 3rd. This day in 1990, the Arizona Senate votes to remove Governor Evan Mecham from office \u2014 for all sorts of reasons.

\n\n

Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss Mecham\u2019s very sketchy track record on race, corruption, abuse of power and more; and how he ended up in office to begin with.
