ARIZONA LESS AFFORDABLE?

BLAME HOBBS!

Grocery taxes. Renter taxes. Digital taxes. Banks for illegal immigrants. Hobbs made Arizona cost more — and play by different rules.

Affordability isn’t a slogan. It’s whether you can buy food, pay rent, stream a movie, and trust the system isn’t rigged.

Hobbs vetoed ending grocery taxes, cosponsored taxing digital goods and services, and vetoed a bill to stop banks from serving illegal immigrants.

Then she kept vetoing taxation omnibus bills. Your costs went up. The special treatment stayed.
