But they've left unresolved the issue of $200 million needed for K-12 funding for the budget year that ends June 30.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — State lawmakers finally approved funding the state's Medicaid program needs to pay its current bills.
The move still leaves unresolved nearly $200 million needed for K-12 funding for the state government budget year that ends June 30. The universal voucher program is something Hobbs is trying to kill going forward, much less continue to fund this year.Senate GOP press aide Kim Quintero noted those additional education funds, unlike the appropriation for AHCCCS, are not immediately needed before the budget year ends June 30. She said Republican legislative leaders hope to work out the details as they negotiate a spending plan for the new budget year that begins July 1.
Petersen said"a wise governor'' who didn't like the skinny budget could have used her constitutional power of line-item veto to remove everything but the supplemental appropriations.Hobbs press aide Christian Slater clapped back, pointing out that AHCCCS is responsible for providing care for about 2.5 million state residents.
Proponents argued at the time this could save taxpayer money, as the vouchers, in general, were for less than the state pays in per-student aid to public schools. She instead wants funding diverted to traditional K-12 schools, proposing to boost K-12 basic school aid from all sources by nearly $200 million, an additional $637 per student.
