As you probably have heard by now, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is scheduled to speak tonight at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism. Protests are planned from both sides of the aisle, and the event is sure to be heavily covered by the media.
I’ll be there taking notes, and probably posting some things on Twitter. But for live coverage of the event, your best bet is PHXated, a blog run by journalist Bill Wyman. He’s been covering the lead-up to the event and has done a more-thorough job than anyone.
The event also happens to fall on the same day Arpaio’s office is squaring off with a judge over whether a detention officer should apologize for taking an attorney’s legal file. I’ll update Heat City on the latest events as that situation continues to unfold.
