For Star subscribers: Just a month into office, Democrat Katie Hobbs faces political gamesmanship and gauntlets from Arizona's Republican lawmakers.
Bob Christie Capitol Media Services PHOENIX — One month into a Legislative session that sees the Republican-controlled Arizona House and Senate trying to come to terms with a Democrat as governor for the first time in 14 years, GOP leaders are showing no sign that they will make Gov. Katie Hobbs' first year in office a smooth one.
It is essentially last year's bipartisan budget, stripped of one-time spending that helped garner Democratic votes, plus required inflation-tied increases for schools. The plan leaves a $1.8 billion surplus unallocated, money that is usually the focus of budget talks. Republican leaders are starting out their relationship on the wrong foot and"are playing political games," Hobbs told Capitol Media Services.
But a text message exchange between Livingston and a Hobbs staffer shows there have been efforts to meet with him. The messages show Hobbs staff canceling a planned meeting but offering to reschedule; Livingston apparently never reached out to do that.
