Howard Fischer PHOENIX — House Republicans rounded up the votes Monday for a"skinny'' budget for state government, essentially daring Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs to veto it.The party-line vote came after Rep. Liz Harris, R-Chandler, reversed her vote of just a week earlier against the $15.1 billion plan, which had left Republicans without the necessary 31-vote majority.
She then said she voted against the budget plan because it would spend too much money, although it largely simply extends current funding for another year. Cano said Republicans had — and have — a chance to do what has been done in the past: negotiate a bipartisan budget. He said they need to recognize the political reality that a majority of Arizonans selected Hobbs as governor.
