Habemus State Budget

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, along with Republicans and Democrats in the State Legislature have concluded a bipartisan budget for Fiscal Year 2027.

In a press announcement, Governor Hobbs praised the agreement, offering:

“This bipartisan, balanced budget agreement will put Arizona first and deliver opportunity, security and freedom to communities throughout the state. With this agreement, we are delivering a $1.4 billion tax cut for working class families, investing in job creation, education and water security while tightening our belts, and securing a moratorium on the data center tax exemption so we can develop a responsible path forward that protects our water future and lowers utility bills for Arizona families.

“This bipartisan compromise shows what we can do when we put common sense before political games and focus on delivering real results for our communities. It will put money back in the pockets of Arizona families and lower costs, make our communities safer, and protect the vital services that Arizonans rely on. In the coming days, I look forward to working with legislators in both parties to pass this bipartisan budget agreement that will make Arizona stronger, safer, and more prosperous.”

When asked if this budget reflected the Governor’s Arizona’s Promise Agenda, Hobbs Press Secretary Liliana Soto commented to Blog for Arizona:

“The Governor is confident this bipartisan and balanced budget agreement will deliver more opportunity, security, and freedom to everyday Arizonans and looks forward to signing it into law.”
