| Description | Gov. Janet Napolitano is denying previous knowledge that two political allies were at the helm of a student loan company established by executive order to handle millions of dollars in college loans.
The Arizona Higher Education Loan Authority was established by a Napolitano executive order in December 2004. The nonprofit provides bonds that finance low-cost, state-backed student loans.
The group's top officers include United Phoenix Firefighters Association President Billy Shields and former union head Pat Cantelme.
Napolitano spokeswoman Jeanine L'Ecuyer said the governor was not aware until recently that AHELA was headed by the union bosses and that the group was the only one to approach the state offering to provide such loans. |
