It’s official: Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs is under investigation. The state attorney general announced that its criminal division will look into whether the governor’s office, Arizona’s Department of Child Safety, and a group home service were involved in a pay-to-play operation. Some of the contributions from the group home company, Sunshine Residential Homes, have raised the eyebrows of authorities and Arizona Republicans in the legislature (via Axios):
AZ Governor Katie Hobbs accused in alleged 'pay-for-play' scheme involving group home operator https://t.co/l7yLEywWDr— FOX 10 Phoenix (@FOX10Phoenix) June 8, 2024
The Arizona Attorney General's Office will investigate what a state senator described as a "pay-to-play scheme" involving Gov. Katie Hobbs, the Department of Child Safety and a group home company that received a substantial rate increase.
The big picture: The Arizona Republic reported Wednesday that Sunshine Residential Homes received a large rate hike from DCS after making six-figure contributions to Hobbs' inauguration fund and the Arizona Democratic Party.
Sunshine applied for a rate hike in December 2022 that DCS denied in February 2023. It again applied for a rate increase in May 2023 that was approved.
Meanwhile, the company gave $100,000 to Hobbs' inaugural fund in December 2022, though the inaugural fund's records dated the contribution in February 2023. Sunshine also gave $200,000 to the Arizona Democratic Party shortly before the 2022 election.
Sunshine CEO Simon Kottoor was on Hobbs' inaugural committee and contributed to her campaign, and his company gave her an award about a month before her election.
… Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes' office said in a letter to state Sen. T.J. Shope (R-Coolidge) Thursday afternoon that its criminal division will open an investigation.
Axios added that Arizona Republican State Sen. T.J. Shope, chair of the legislature’s Health and Human Services Committee, said that hearings on this matter could be held. Sen. Shope has contacted Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell to determine whether civil or criminal offenses have been allegedly committed. Mitchell told Shope she would be planning meetings with Arizona’s auditor general. The attorney general’s office also voiced their opinion, asking Mitchell to stand down since two competing investigations wouldn’t be in the state’s interest.
Her fat swine gluteus maximus needs to be thrown in a pig stay with bars.
Menendez won’t see any punishment. He’s from the same state as Senators Toricelli and Corzine. If they got away with it, so will he.
So damn true she is such a vocal fry, liberal Karen poster child. I hope this takes her down.

LOLOL - what a joke - the whitewash will be a whitewash
Yep!
A Dem “investigating” a Dem.
Oh, so the Cartel-connected AG, who stole the election from Abe Hamedeh, is going to exert “justice “ on Katie Hobbs, the clueless tw@t who was allowed to steal the Governorship from Kari Lake? Oookaaaayyy.
You are correct sir, unfortunately. She will walk.
Like cops investigating cops. The fix is in.
Both the AG and the Governor stole their election. The AG has already tried to take the investigation away from other independent authorities. The Hobbgobin is only in trouble from these alternate investigations , the one with the crooked AG is going to try its best to bury it all. Think Janet Reno who used fake investigations to protect the Clinton’s.
Don’t hold your breath.
All those who would have to prosecute her are her friends and co-conspirators.
Blago was the 5th illannoy governor I can think of since about 1970 to go to prison. 4 dems and 1 republican.
Correction..4. 3 dems and 1 republican.
Most democRATS abhor regular work. The idea of rising each day to perform duties disgusts them. Power and money, money and power. Get it any way you can.
Yet another reason they despise giants like President Trump. He gathered his fortune the old fashioned way, he earned it.
Rules, regulations and laws are for others.
Without a conscience or a soul, anything is possible.
The Department of Child Safety was involved in this scheme. Consequently there is child sex trafficking involved. This goes much deeper but this aspect of the crimes will not be investigated.
Here is the web page for the CEO for the Arizona Dept of Child Safety: https://dcs.az.gov/about/administration/dcsCEO
David Lujan is the Cabinet Executive Officer (CEO) of the Arizona Department of Child Safety.
Is he crooked?
“Hobbs is a well connected commie and any investigations are to cleanse her back ground and crimes”
And most likely up to her neck in drug cartels’ businesses. There’ll be plenty of money to buy off whomever needs to be bought off.
Yes
Cartel Katie
exactly
demoNcrats protect child traffickers
Just send the governor the proverbial “strongly worded letter” and move on.
