OPINION: 'A dear friend used to say: 'The state is safe, the legislature is not in session.' As I write, both Congress and our Arizona Legislature are in session. Beware,' writes Tucsonan Frank Bergen.
A dear friend used to say: “The state is safe, the legislature is not in session.” As I write, both Congress and our Arizona Legislature are in session. Beware.
The majority party in Arizona’s legislature has not acted to suspend the constitutional limit on school spending, though a March 1 deadline is approaching to do so or deprive our schools of funds they have but lack the authority to spend. I’d like to think they would not only suspend the limit for this year but introduce a proposal to ask the voters to repeal the inappropriate constitutional spending limit.
The legislative agenda of the majority here in Arizona seems aimed intentionally at incurring gubernatorial vetoes. Very soon a “skinny budget” produced with no input from the governor or minority legislators will go to the governor if it gains the votes of the majority’s 16 senators and 31 House members.
