PHOENIX - County Supervisors have turned down more than a million dollars to battle illegal immigration.

In a two-two vote, the motion to accept the money died. The $1.4 million in state money would have gone to the county attorney and sheriff's offices to enforce illegal immigration.

Mary Rose Wilcox and Don Stapley cast the two no votes. The Arizona Republic reports Wilcox is concerned the sheriff's office will misuse the money while Stapley claims the county's office wasn't willing to brief him on it.

Wilcox is currently under criminal investigation by the sheriff's office and Stapley was indicted in December over issues involving financial disclosure forms.
