NEW: Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has VETOED a Republican bill that would give billionaires a $600 million tax break while kicking 200,000 people off of their healthcare.
Among other things, the now-vetoed bill would have also cut $1.8 million from food stamps, leaving 640,000 children to go hungry during the summer.
“This budget is unbalanced and reckless. With it, Arizona would default on our debt obligations, endanger vulnerable children, slash critical public safety funding, and pay for tax breaks to billionaires, data centers, and special interests by kicking Arizonans off their healthcare and taking food off their tables,” Governor Hobbs said.
“Arizonans cannot afford chaotic and dysfunctional Washington-style budgeting in our state government.”
Republicans tried to screw over working families in Arizona. Governor Katie Hobbs stopped them. THIS is what standing up for working families looks like.
