PHOENIX — It looks like the street corner and parking lot sale of tamales is going to remain illegal, at least for the time being.
Senate Democrats put out a statement late Friday saying they will not provide the necessary votes to override the veto by Gov. Katie Hobbs of House Bill 2509.
That comes despite the fact 10 of the 14 Democrats in the chamber voted for the legislation earlier this month that would have legalized the common but unlawful practice of people selling home-cooked items including not just tamales but pupusas, empanadas and more.
