Governor Hobbs is promising a bold agenda for her first 100 days in office. Improving the economy for workers, affordable housing, immigration, education and water security are all on her to-do list.
PHOENIX — For the first time since 2009, a Democratic governor leads the state of Arizona. Katie Hobbs is the executive.
Shortly after being sworn in on Monday, the Governor signed an executive order titled"Protecting Employment Opportunity." It reinforces federal non-discrimination laws protecting LGBTQ+ state employees. Arizona already has a protection in place, but the Governor said it wasn't being enforced. "We have to protect the Colorado River Water. Protect Arizona’s interest in the Colorado River water," she said.
"It’s really unfortunate that this 175-million dollars was wasted because that could be used to actually provide services and support to those communities," Hobbs said. Arizona now owns more than ten miles of cargo containers. It will be up to the Hobbs administration to figure out what to do with them. Converting at least some into housing units is one of the options the Governor says will be considered.
