Political Turmoil Surrounds Arizona State Budget as Senate Acts Unilaterally

Political chaos has erupted in Arizona as the Senate passed a $17.6 billion bipartisan budget and adjourned its session without House approval. Despite negotiations with Governor Katie Hobbs, the House remains deadlocked and has not secured the votes needed to approve the budget, risking a state government shutdown. The budget has stirred division among Republican lawmakers and highlighted contrasting priorities between the Senate and House proposals. With deadlines looming and tensions rising, Arizona legislators are scrambling to find a resolution to avoid a financial crisis.
