Ducey vetoed 22 bills in total, claiming the people of Arizona “deserve” to have the $12.8 billion proposed budget plan pass, citing tax cuts and new spending on roads contained in the plan.
One of the bills vetoed by Ducey was a bill seeking to ban critical race theory “training for government workers.” Another bill sought to end the sending of “mass mailing voting ballots to voters who don’t request one.” Yet another bill states the attorney general of Arizona must “review the constitutionality of any executive orders by the president.”
Arizona Republican House Speaker Rusty Bowers confessed he was not surprised by the governor’s vetoes, stating Ducey had employed similar tactics in the past, but Bowers said he was still disappointed.
“It means more time for us. It means late introductions, it means the whole rigmarole, all over again… But we’ve been working and trying to work through each of our recalcitrant members and holdouts to have a budget. And next week we’re going to be trying to put one together and hopefully we can move.”
While Democrats and some Republicans in the Arizona Legislature object to the tax cuts, conservatives have concerns about the amount of spending in the proposed budget. But Bowers expressed his hope that now, the Legislature would set to work more seriously than ever and “get things done.”
And there you have it.
Is there any reason to think the audit will reveal anything?
I’m surprised the place hasn’t been lit on fire yet.
Assistant Democrat is a more accurate moniker.
Arizona Republicans better be ready cheat like democrats in 2022.
“...Assistant Democrat is a more accurate moniker...”
THIS ^
There’s been a whole bunch of em “flushed out” into the open for the public to see. Get rid of em all.
Check this POS’s bank accounts.
Common sense , he has NONE
He has GOT to be owned...by who?
Ducey is the type of republican who points out a minor flaw in a candidate and, in spite of the candidate holding many conservative positions, deems the candidate unfit due to the candidate not being a perfect fit.
He’s not a Republican, he’s a RINO and needs to be runout of office.
Governor Doug Ducey is a crooked, lying traitor.
Just another example of the old saying:
“With friends like these, who needs enemies!”
I hate these RINOs as much as any leftist. The GOP is rotten to the core. The only recourse at this point is civil breakup of the country by politics. I don’t think that ever happens without the inevitable civil war. There is no system or political party that is saving our side. The United States, Constitution and Republic are in name only.
But don’t you EVER EVER consider that we need a new party. /sarcasm
Yes, and Katie Hobbs just entered the race. God help us!
The big baby didn’t get his precious budget right away, so he threw a tantrum like a man-child, picked up his ball, and ran home.
DNC sleeper agent has been activated.
TREASON!
And what blackmail material is being held over Ducey’s head.
Do they have the votes to override the veto ?
