Legislators Blindsided By Ducey’s Vetoes Of 22 Republican Supported Bills
americandailyindependent.com ^ | 5/29/21 | Terri Jo Neff

If Gov. Doug Ducey believed shooting down 22 legislative bills would shame the 47 Republicans in the Arizona Legislature into passing his budget bills, the reaction of some lawmakers suggests there is now even less support after his vetoes were announced Friday.

“The decision to employ strong arm tactics by vetoing over 20 Republican bills, presumably driven by some of his staff and advisors, reflects a fundamental miscalculation regarding the status and progress of the budget negotiations,” Rep. Jake Hoffman (R-LD12). “It is deeply concerning that they did not foresee how detrimental indiscriminately vetoing nearly two dozen bills would be on reaching consensus on the budget.”

Hoffman pointed to Ducey’s inclusion of SB1074 in the list of the 22 vetoed bills as especially problematic. The legislation prohibits the use of public funds for the promotion of Critical Race Theory training, and the training itself could not be required of public employees.

“The Governor’s decision to veto crucial election integrity legislation, as well as his veto of a bill that would have banned taxpayer money from being used to teach the racist, bigoted Critical Race Theory (CRT) ideology is shocking and disappointing for the millions of Arizonans who support these measures.”

Ducey’s veto letter to Senate President Karen Fann and House Speaker Rusty Bowers noted that “some” of the bills contain good policy, but “at this time, our priority needs to be passing a budget for Arizonans.” The vetoes ignore the fact that the legislators had already done their part to pass the bills, all of which passed with Republican support.

Meanwhile, Ducey’s actions do not seem to have nudged any “on-the-budget-fence” Republicans to drop their demands, as evidenced by a tweet by Sen. Kelly Townsend (R-LD16) Friday night.

Doug Ducey, another tool of the Democrats. Imagine vetoing bills to get leverage on a budget!

Oh, and thanks Doug for appointing loser Martha McSally to a Senate seat (on McConnell's recommendation), so she could lose again and give the Senate to the Democrats.

At every turn, these types of Republican leaders prove to be worthless, yet this is the kind of "leadership" that Paul Ryan & Co. just love!

McSally was an incredibly poor campaigner. It’s hard to believe that she made O-6 in the military.

Our elected leaders do not believe they are the “voice of the people”....they believe they ARE the people.

An author who Bannon interviewed said that “Democrats are an organized crime organization masquerading as a political party.” (Quote similar; probably not 100% verbatim.)

McSally was ahead in the count before the cheat-by-mail-in ballots came in. It will be interesting what the AZ audit uncovers.

Is Arizona like Washington D.C.? Can the legislature hand the governor whatever budget bill they want, and tell him to sign it or go without money?

I don't know if she lost or was cheated out of it, but regardless, she was a piss poor candidate.

I watched two of her events, and she was mush mouthed with liberty and platitudes for all.

I never heard a compelling reason for her election, other than "I'm not him".

The great Michael Walsh.

Author of “The Devil’s Pleasure Palace” and “Fiery Angel.”

He was writing out of the Soviet bloc for years leading to its demise and warned of the commie infiltration here.

“He was writing out of the Soviet bloc for years”

Interesting man - Forrest Gump life. In Russia when Chernobyl blew. In WA when Mount St. Helens blew. In Germany when the Berlin wall came down. I can’t recall all he said. His appearance on War Room was one of the best.

Ducey needs to go as much as Kemp needs to go. Primary both.

We know now where many of McCain’s spies went.
They now work for Ducey.

Until rank and file Republican voters quit voting for people who are really Democrats at heart us Trumpers and the country as a whole are going to be saddled with this kind of treachery.

To the masses as a whole I say......”people quit listening to, much less believe, what candidates say!............research their history. If they don’t have a STRONG CONSERVATIVE RECORD, don’t vote for them.

In spite of your insistence on making this discussion personal.... Catching a virus and experiencing its symptoms for days while you develop an immunity to the virus is not “natural immunity” to the virus. Before COVID-19 hit the United States nobody was “naturally immune” to it. It was a virus which never existed before. Having immunity to a virus which has never existed before is impossible.
