GOP-controlled Legislature, angry about Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs' state budget proposal, moves ahead with 'basic' plan.
By Bob Christie Capitol Media Services PHOENIX — Republican Arizona lawmakers are so angered at new Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs' state budget proposal that one likened it to"poking the bear.''
What's behind the move is a plan to enact a budget early in the legislative session to ensure state agencies keep operating in case Republicans find themselves at an impasse with Hobbs when a new spending plan needs to be in place by July 1. The GOP-controlled House is expected to move the same proposal sometime this week.
Berry repeated Hobbs’ invitation to any lawmaker who wants to negotiate seriously, but said “this do-nothing budget does nothing but kick the can down the road, and it's an insult to the Arizonans who elected both the governor and this Legislature to get to work addressing real issues.” Kavanagh also pushed back on Democratic senators who said the plan continues the priorities of Republican former Gov. Doug Ducey, complained it was only given to their members on Monday evening, and labeled it a"phony budget.'' He said Republicans have been talking about passing their own budget plan since the session started three weeks ago.
