ARIZONA COUNTY SUPERVISOR SHOT, APPARENTLY OVER STADIUM TAX

          In Arizona, Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox
     was shot on Wednesday, reportedly due to her support of the
     Bank One Ballpark stadium tax, according to Herman, Steckner
     & McCloy of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC.  Wilcox was shot in the
     left pelvis and is in stable condition.  Larry Naman, "who
     confessed" to shooting Wilcox, said he was trying to stop
     "the political dictatorship of [D'Backs Managing General
     Partner] Jerry Colangelo ... in pushing the baseball stadium
     tax."  In a statement from jail, Naman "referred to Wilcox's
     support of the Bank One Ballpark and a sales tax she helped
     pass to finance construction."  He added that he "hoped to
     force the destruction of Bank One Ballpark."  Colangelo, who
     was out of town, released a statement: "Everyone associated
     with our organization is appalled by the violent act against
     this public servant" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 8/14).
