Does the name Maria Baier ring a bell?
The Sonoran Institute Board of Directors has announced Baier’s appointment as the group’s new chief executive officer. She takes the reins as CEO of the broken-world repairers effective December 3, 2012.
Baier has served as Arizona State Land Commissioner since 2009. Prior to that she was a short-term Phoenix City Councilwoman. Most notable, however was her inclusion on the notorious list of RINOs who signed on as Republicans for Janet — Arizona’s liberal former governor, now Obama’s chieftain of Homeland Insecurity.
Baier was personally hand picked and endorsed for the District 3 city council post by liberal former Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. As the sister of then-Fire Chief Bob Khan, she was well positioned to vote for pay increases for her own brother and his union.
The Sonoran Institute’s website says it is dedicated to “inspiring and enabling community decisions and public policies that respect the land and people of western North America.” Climate Change is a front burner issue.
You might think a group this far up Al Gore’s alley would be looking for someone of the same political persuasion, rather than a Republican who went to the trouble to become a GOP Precinct Committeeman.
Well, whaddya know? It looks as though they did.
The infamous list of Republicans for Janet — to which Maria Baier affixed her name — can be viewed below. Her name is on the 7th line from the top. Click to enlarge.

A great play on words title! I had to read it a couple of times to get the drift. But then again, my wife tells me I can be a bit dense at times.
Baier is the poster child devious, self enhancing behavior.
Why do you think Jan Brewer appointed this RINO to the top job at the state land commission?
Just a guess but I’ll bet McCain had something to do with it.
I’ve heard of this list before, asked about it and was told it was long gone. How interesting to see it in all it’s leftwing splendor! I would never hire anyone whose name appeared on this traitorous list. How trustworthy would such a person be?
It sounds like this leftie has finally found her niche. Enjoy the People’s Republic of Pima!
Hmmmmmmmm, I got told that my distrust of Jan was unwaranted, I think not.
This female, and this list, are stark reminders of those who infiltrate the GOP to destroy US from within. Pretty soon we will again face this battle in our own state convention. The GOP is the Party of American Exceptionalism, standing for God, freedom and family. Let US all renew our personal vows to stand with the GOP to defend America.
“A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs, which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers…. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these conservative principles, then let them go their own way.”
– Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975
God bless America.
Here, Here, leo!!!!! When we rid this Party of the Mc’s, (McCain McFlake) of Az. we may start to recapture the grandure of Reagan. At least the Mc’s are a duet now and not a trio.
Good point about the duet rather than a trio, CD9. However, now installed in the US Senate and only coming before the voters every six years (rather than two), any hopes of removing the Flake will be a monumental task. As a congressman he was getting support form others in the US House during this 2012 race. As a senator he will be even more intrenched with leadership and lobbyists who provide the needed endorsements and financial support. Few senators are kicked to the curb. That’s why, as a conservative, I did not vote for him. These are the awful realities.
