PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has signed her name to a veto of a financial disclosure bill in Phoenix.
The governor characterized the legislation as a "political stunt" during the process of quashing the measure.
The proposed law was inspired by controversy surrounding an increase in state contract awards under Governor Hobbs' administration. Specifically, reports indicate a 60% increase in a state contract awarded by her Department of Child Safety.
Allegations associated with this financial shift include claims regarding pay-to-play practices linked to the aforementioned contract award.
