Opinion Laurie Roberts: Some of Arizona's most conservative legislators on Monday walked out or turned their backs on Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs. By June (when it counts), they'll be irrelevant.
Opinion: Some of Arizona's most conservative legislators on Monday walked out or turned their backs on Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs. By June , they'll be irrelevant.Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs delivered her first State of the State speech on Monday, only to watch as a handful of Republican legislators walked out or turned their backs.
So now it’s “radical” and “woke” to support public education, to require accountability when spending public money, to protect our dwindling groundwater supply?Hobbs’ speech was hardly a wish list of the left. She called for: -- Creating a task force to figure out why one in four teachers are fleeing the classroom and what to do about it.-- Boosting state spending on affordable housing and offering a child tax credit to families earning less than $40,000 a year and exempting diapers and tampons from the state sales tax.
You’d think the far right – the people who scream about vaccines – would be thrilled with those words.
