The failure of the budget is a setback for House leaders, at least for now, who want to enact a plan that they say would avoid a government shutdown.
Republican plans to quickly pass a budget and use it to bait Gov. Katie Hobbs into issuing her first veto stalled Monday. The unexpected road block came from a freshman Republican, who sided with Democrats to vote down the measure.
The Republicans have a one-vote majority in the House, so any dissent can sideline the majority's plans. Republicans last month announced plans to pass a continuation budget on the eve of Hobbs' budget presentation. It was an early attempt to set the stage on the one action that lawmakers must take: Pass a budget for the coming year.
On Monday, Senate President Warren Petersen, R-Queen Creek, said it makes sense to pass a state budget early. Not only does it provide assurance that government will keep operating if lawmakers can't reach a deal with Hobbs, Petersen said, it also eliminates much of the horse trading at the Legislature, where lawmakers withhold their vote on the budget until they get concessions on other measures.
