Arizona’s 1st-year governor vetoes GOP-backed state budget

PHOENIX (AP) — Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a Republican-backed budget Thursday, calling it “one-sided” and “an insult to Arizonans.” Hobbs’ budget plan announced in January proposed $17.1 billion in spending for the 2024 fiscal year, which starts on July 1 of this year. The GOP-led House and Senate had voted along party lines Monday in favor of a $15.8 billion package that would extend current-year spending for another 12 months. “This do-nothing budget kicks the can down the road and it’s an insult to Arizonans who need their leaders to address affordable housing, invest in public education and put money back into their pockets,” Hobbs said in a statement. “Rather than tackling difficult choices, this budget presents Arizonans with false choices. The purely-partis...

An NBA check-in: Lebron James is the new scoring king

(Illustration by Javier Dosamantes) By JAVIER DOSAMANTESPima Post Last week in Los Angeles, LeBron James broke the record for most points scored in NBA history, a record held for 39 years. A record previously held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and James took it while playing for Kareem's Lakers, the legendary L.A. sports franchise. Denzel Washington, who won the Oscar for his leading role in “Training Day,” was in attendance to witness sports history alongside other celebrities. In that iconic L.A. movie, a naively drunk Jack Hoyt has a hazy philosophical conversation about life with Washington's character and a grizzled drug kingpin — who are trying to teach the young Hoyt a few lessons about life on his first day on the job. But he then tells them he has everything figure...
