PHOENIX — Gov. Katie Hobbs is going to veto legislation to block cities and towns from taxing groceries.
Press aide Murphy Hebert confirmed late Friday that her boss finds the legislation sent to her earlier this week unacceptable. And that means, at least for the time being, the communities that do impose the levy — and that’s a majority of them — need not fear the loss of revenues.
But it also means the local taxes, which collectively raise more than $161 million a year from shoppers, will remain in place, at least for the time being.
