Don’t pop the champagne yet ... And every word of that is wrong.

House Republicans passed a doomed $17B “skinny” budget that Hobbs already promised to veto. Oh, and the government shuts down on Tuesday.

Arizona is moving alarmingly close to a state government shutdown. At 10 a.m. today, the House Appropriations Committee is going over the new budget plan the governor has already promised to veto.

House Republicans are dropping the first budget draft today, and we got our hands on a document highlighting their spending asks. The Senate, however, is on a completely different budgeting journey.
