Good morning RJ,

Happy Friday! We’ve got a few more news stories to round out the week.

First, Pinal County officials are working on a corrective plan after an audit showed some issues in accounting possibly caused by high staff turnover in the county’s Finance Department.

Next, Pinal County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a woman after she allegedly pulled a gun on two women near Stanfield.

And residents looking for a lift between Coolidge and Casa Grande may be able to hop on a CART bus in the future. Central Arizona Regional Transit will present new route changes to the public next week. One of those proposed changes includes a route that would drop passengers off in downtown Casa Grande.
