Katie Hobbs Secures Disability Funding Victory

Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) secured a crucial victory for Arizona’s disabled families after threatening a blanket veto — a move where she promised to reject every new bill sent to her desk until lawmakers passed a bipartisan fix for the $122 million shortfall in disability funding.

This high-stakes tactic effectively halted legislative business and pressured lawmakers to reach a deal that would keep services running for nearly 60,000 Arizonans with developmental disabilities.
