State Sen. Wendy Rogers has a command appearance scheduled in Flagstaff that she may blow off

 Journalists accepting a gig in AZ will need something when they come here - sunblock.

And if they're assigned to the Capitol beat, they'll need something else - a snow shovel, as they'll be dealing with some very sensitive snowflakes that will melt, not in the heat of Arizona, but in the heat of competent reporting.

Reporter investigating where state Sen. Wendy Rogers lives in Arizona hit with restraining order

Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers, R-Flagstaff, has convinced a judge to issue an order barring a reporter from contacting her at home.

Flagstaff Justice Court Magistrate Judge Amy Criddle signed the restraining order April 19 against Camryn Sanchez, who covers the state Senate for the Arizona Capitol Times, after a petition from Rogers, R-Flagstaff. Criddle's order doesn't appear to show Sanchez doing anything out of the ordinary in her job as a reporter.

Note: There was some difference between the news stories on this matter.  Some referred to Criddle as a JP; some referred to her as a judge on the Flagstaff City Court bench.  As it turns out, she is a city court judge who also works as a pro-tem (temporary) Justice of the Peace.

There will be a hearing on May 10 in Flagstaff to consider whether the order should continue.

Flagstaff judge to hear arguments in Wendy Rogers' court order vs. reporter

A Flagstaff judge will hear arguments on May 10 whether to dissolve a court order that keeps an Arizona Capitol Times reporter away from the three homes of Republican state Sen. Wendy Rogers.

The hearing will be the first opportunity for the attorney for Camryn Sanchez to question Rogers about her allegations that the reporter had harassed her by going to houses that the senator admitted she owns in Maricopa County to check where she actually is living.

This has earned the attention of other reporters.  From Twitter -

Also from Twitter -

I'm guessing that Rogers won't attend and the order will be vacated - testifying under oath about anything may be something she wants to avoid.

Of course, she could choose another path - resign her position.

It may be honorable, but I don't recommend that anyone hold their breath while waiting for that to happen.

No one's ever accused Rogers of being honorable.
