Creditors allowed to probe Symington's wife's records

PHOENIX € Creditors have won approval for examining the financial records of Gov. Fife Symington's wife as well as a financial statement he issued in 1990.

Donald Gaffney, Ann Symington's attorney, argued that her finances were separate from her husband's and should be off-limits to creditors.

However, Judge George Nielsen ruled Tuesday that attorneys for a consortium of union pension funds owed $11.4 million were entitled to review the finances of the first lady. The ruling could prompt her husband's debtors to seek claims on her fortune.
