US EditionArizona Governor vetoes two budget proposals as the state risks a possible shutdown
- Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed two Republican budget proposals on June 25 in Phoenix, risking the state’s first-ever government shutdown.
- The veto followed prolonged budget negotiations that failed because House Republicans rejected a $17.6 billion bipartisan plan supported by the Senate and Governor Hobbs.
- The Senate passed a budget including pay raises for first responders, increased funding for border security, transportation, and K-12 education, while House Republicans advanced an alternative continuation budget to maintain operations.
- Governor Hobbs called the GOP plans “partisan,” slashing $255 million from health care and over $100 million from K-12 education, and said the proposals would shortchange public safety, childcare, and veterans.
- If a budget is not signed by June 30, Hobbs has directed agencies to prepare for a shutdown starting July 1, potentially furloughing some of the state’s 34,000 employees and disrupting services.
