According to the Arizona Corp Commission records. Joy Communications is a LLC formed in Feb 2009.
Max Fose and John Kaites are the principles. John Kaites also donated $296 on Jan. 5,2007 to Thayer's state senate campaign but then John donates to clients on both sides of the aisle.
Sources confirmed that John Kaites and past Firefighter Union President Billy Shields have worked together doing lobby work. They may also be known as Public P3 Partners, which has the same address as Joy Communications. Shields also has Shields Consulting, located next door to Joy Communications.
A little history on the cast of characters in this scenario...Do the dots show any Nepotism?

Billy Shields, the former UNION leader of the politically powerful Phoenix Firefighter's Association, deposited two checks totaling $80,000 into the "Friends of Greg Stanton" account, Stanton and his attorney Hector Diaz said Wednesday.
Both checks, they said, were deposited in the name of Shields' daughter, Mindy Shields, who was the former treasurer of Stanton's account and is accused of embezzling the money.
