PHOENIX - Records that Phoenix withheld from the public since 2010 show former Mayor Phil Gordon's security detail not only protected him when attending to official city matters, but outside of traditional business hours, taking him to the movies, the dry cleaners and his girlfriend's house.

An inside look at Gordon's activities both inside and outside of City Hall is available after Phoenix released 476 pages of logs kept by Gordon's security detail from late December 2007 through 2009.

It's the first time the logs have been made available for public scrutiny since a conservative think tank, The Arizona Republic and other local media outlets initially requested the documents in late 2009.
