PHOENIX — Calling it a “political stunt,” Gov. Katie Hobbs quashed a financial disclosure measure inspired by a controversy over a 60% state contract awarded by her Department of Child Safety.
The measure crafted by Sen. T.J. Shope would have required any company bidding on state contracts to immediately disclose any donations made to the governor, any campaign committees or inaugural funds, and any entity that “advocates for the election of the governor or for the defeat of an electors opponent of the governor.”
And that would apply to not just the company but all its officers, directors, and all their family members — and gone back for five years.
