PHOENIX — Accusing Republicans of playing games, Gov. Katie Hobbs said Monday she will veto any legislation they send her until they actually deliver their long-promised budget proposal.
Hobbs said she publicly released her proposal for a $17.8 billion spending plan in January. It was immediately denounced by GOP leaders as unbalanced as it relies on sources of revenue they contend will not develop.
The governor said her office was involved in negotiations until three weeks ago when she walked away, saying nothing can be negotiated until the Republicans who control and House and Senate publicly release their own plan.
