Opinion from Laurie Roberts: Rep. Liz Harris, one of the Legislature's fiercest election deniers, is turning out to be Gov. Katie Hobbs' most important ally at the state Capitol.
Gov. Katie Hobbs and Arizona’s Democratic legislators have found a new ally in the most unlikeliest of places.torpedo the Republicans’ “skinny budget”As a strategy – demanding that Hobbs pass a continuation of last year’s budget before they will negotiate any additional spending – the “skinny budget” was always a waste of time. Hobbs has a veto stamp and I imagine she’s itching to use it.
It’s a pattern that has held now in the last three election cycles, allowing Arizona Democrats to grab both U.S. Senate seats, the Governor’s Office, the Secretary of State’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office. When the “skinny budget” came up for a vote on Monday, Harris went with along with Democrats in voting no, stunning the bill’s sponsor, Rep. David Livingston, who quickly changed his vote to no so he could bring it up for reconsideration later this week or next.
