AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Arizona Budget & Taxes: Gov. Katie Hobbs signed the $18.3B bipartisan Arizona First budget, including a $1.4B tax cut package (no taxes on tips and overtime starting July 1, plus expanded deductions/credits) and a three-year moratorium on new data center tax incentives, while also funding priorities like border security, education, healthcare, and water. Election Policy: The Arizona Secure Elections Act cleared the Legislature for a statewide ballot, proposing voter ID, limiting voting to eligible citizen voters, banning foreign nationals from influencing elections, and giving voters the option to have ballots tabulated at their voting location. Colorado River Crunch: Arizona faces up to a 77% cut in its Colorado River share if Upper and Lower Basin states stay deadlocked and the federal government imposes a “no deal” reallocation plan. Data Centers vs. Communities: Lawmakers moved to make data center developers pay more via suspending a sales tax exemption, as local backlash grows over power, water, costs, and control. World Cup Politics in Arizona’s Orbit: Iran’s World Cup participation is still tangled in visa and camp-location disputes, with the team based in Tijuana after moving from Tucson, and the tournament’s off-field tensions spilling into U.S. matches. Local Governance & Safety: Mesa approved a downtown food hall incubator for start-up restaurateurs, while Queen Creek is seeking Arizona Corporation Commission approval for major intersection and railroad crossing upgrades. Public Safety Watch: Scottsdale police say e-bike “takeovers” haven’t hit there yet, but Valley agencies report rising e-bike-related calls and injuries. Legislative Session Wrap: Arizona lawmakers adjourned after a late push to send a conservative agenda to voters, alongside the budget deal.
