A budget has passed and another Arizona Legislative session has come to an end. #SineDei #azleg

Budget negotiations remain the biggest story at the Arizona Capitol. After weeks of stalled talks & legislative recesses, lawmakers returned this week as leaders worked toward a spending plan before the July 1 deadline. Progress has been reported, but no deal has emerged. #AZLeg

This week at the Arizona Legislature, the debate continues over tax conformity, Proposition 123 education funding, and overall spending priorities, with both parties signaling they still have major differences to work through before a final budget deal can advance. #AZLeg

This week AZ Legislature focused on the state budget. Republican lawmakers passed a budget proposal, but Gov Hobbs vetoed it over concerns with education & healthcare funding. Negotiations continue ahead of the June 30 deadline, lawmakers entered a recess for most of May. #AZLeg

The Arizona budget proposal is sparking debate at the Capitol. The plan includes broad tax cuts & agency spending reductions, but leaves out priorities like renewing Proposition 123 education funding, one of the main sticking points between lawmakers and the governor. #AzLeg

Last week marked the 100th day of the AZ Leg, the point when session is supposed to wrap up.
In reality, key issues like the state budget remain unresolved, so work continues beyond the deadline. With most bills already decided, the focus now shifts to those negotiations. #AzLeg

Did you know many Arizona highways follow historic mining supply routes? US Route 60 served as a key route for moving copper ore, supplies, & workers between mining districts & processing centers. Today, it’s a vital transportation link, with roots tied to the mining industry.

April at the Arizona Legislature means discussions should be centered on the budget . However, negotiations are stalled as lawmakers remain split on education funding, taxes, and spending priorities. Until those gaps are resolved, a final budget deal remains out of reach. #AZLeg

The Arizona legislature is shooting for the stars. Legislators sent a bill to the Governor, who signed, proposing an Arizona Space Commission specialty license plate, highlighting the state’s growing role in aerospace and innovation.#AzLeg

One of the most talked-about bills this week, SB1714 would cap price hikes on essential goods, AZ is one of the few states without such a law. Earlier in the session, it likely gets a hearing. This week, it didn’t. That’s late session. If it hasn’t moved, it usually won’t. #AZLeg

Did you know historic mining districts produced the copper that electrified America in the early 20th century? That same metal now supports modern infrastructure, from transmission lines to EV charging stations. Infrastructure has always started underground. #BuiltFromMining

Major deadline week at the AZ Legislature. This week was the cutoff for bills to be heard in their 2nd chamber. If a bill didn’t advance, it’s likely done for the session.
With committee work wrapping up, focus shifts to floor votes and budget talks with Gov. Katie Hobbs. #AZLeg

Consumer protection of veterans was a topic this week as SB1803 was discussed. The bill aims to protect from predatory “claim consultants", limiting who can assist w/ VA benefits claims, cracking down on high-fee services & putting safeguards in place for those who served. #AzLeg
