On August 27, 2009, Judicial Watch sent a letter to Arizona Attorney General Goddard requesting that he take action against Phoenix Chief of Police Jack F. Harris for illegally receiving pension funds while still serving as the city's police chief. Following the Attorney General's refusal to take action, Judicial Watch filed a taxpayer lawsuit against the Phoenix Police Pension Board, its five members, and City of Phoenix Chief of Police Jack F. Harris to stop the illegal payment of pension benefits to Chief Harris valued at approximately $90,000 per year.
