Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed House Bill 2509, which would have expanded the homemade foods that people could sell legally, including hot foods, like tamales.

"I am very disappointed in many of my colleagues who I've had conversations with over the weekend who have, all of the sudden, changed their votes," Hernandez said Tuesday. "Why? I'll tell you why. Because they are too afraid of voting against the governor. Because they want to protect the governor, although we are a separate branch, and we were elected by our constituents, not by Governor Hobbs.
