FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2003

Republican lawmakers in Arizona are seeking a criminal probe into the actions an aide to Governor Janet Napolitano (D) took in pressing for the renaming of Squaw Peak.

The aide, Mario Diaz, called the employer of a member of the state board in charge of geographic names. The member, Tim Norton, opposed renaming the peak for Lori Piestewa, the Hopi woman killed in action in Iraq.

Napolitano was unaware of Diaz's actions and said they were wrong.
