Continued conflict over the Arizona state budget
June 25
On Tuesday, June 24, 2025, the Arizona House voted to pass a continuation budget that would keep the state running as is, and now this proposed budget is moving to the Senate for a vote. However, Governor Katie Hobbs has stated she plans to veto this measure if it were to reach her desk.
The deadline to complete the Arizona state budget to avoid a government shutdown is just a few days away on June 30. As conflict over the budget remains, Governor Hobbs has advised state agencies to prepare for the possibility of a government shutdown.
If Arizona were to experience a shutdown, different services within the government might be paused, and state workers face the possibility of being furloughed.
Mary Jo Pitzl, Senior Reporter at “The Arizona Republic,” joined “Arizona Horizon” to share insight on the state budget issues.
