Gov. Katie Hobbs has signed into law a $17 billion Arizona budget package that drew criticism from Democrats for failing to limit the expansion of a school voucher program.
“While it isn’t perfect, this budget is an important step towards making housing more affordable, building more roads, bridges and broadband access, expanding children’s health insurance, and investing in our public schools,” Hobbs said in a statement Friday. “I’m glad legislative leaders were able to come together to deliver for Arizona, and I look forward to our continued partnership.”
Hobbs’ office had said the expansion siphons money from underfunded public schools and would cost $1.5 billion over the next decade.
