The Arizona Legislature is moving quickly on a $17.8 billion budget for next year following negotiations between Gov. Katie Hobbs and GOP leaders.
The Arizona Legislature is moving quickly to pass a $17.8 billion spending plan for next year following negotiations between Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs and Republican leaders in the House and Senate.
A letter sent Saturday from Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes threatening to sue over the state’s budget plan, which wasn't made public until days later, has prompted a spat between the Democrat and Republican lawmakers. “Senator Hoffman rightly expressed his concern that you threatened litigation over a budget you had not yet even seen and based only on rumors, and perhaps your own misplaced speculation,” Livingston wrote. “I encourage you to learn the facts in the future before wasting taxpayer money and resources on politicized demand letters.”Katie Hobbs got some of her strongest support in her run for governor from public school educators.
Such a cap would stabilize growth, said Beth Lewis, director of Save Our Schools. It's unclear how the governor, who has signed off on the budget she negotiated with GOP leaders, would do so at this stage, other than to veto the budget.
