Hobbs Allocates $17.2 Million for Border Security

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has proposed significant reforms and funding measures to address various state issues. She plans to introduce an income cap on the state's school voucher program, aiming to save $150 million by making wealthier families ineligible for full vouchers. Hobbs also seeks a $1 billion increase in state spending, emphasizing child care cost reductions and economic security, funded by a projected $560 million surplus. For border security, Hobbs announced $17.2 million from the SAFE initiative to support law enforcement in combating drug and human trafficking, underscoring the critical role of local officers in these efforts. This funding aims to enhance safety in border communities, with a focus on drug interdiction and reducing fentanyl entry.
