    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    PHOENIX–Gov. Katie Hobbs is using nearly $16.5 million she says she has leftover in COVID funds to restore the funding cuts made earlier this year to state universities. In a press release late Tuesday, the Democratic governor did not dispute that she agreed in June to the $18.3 billion spending plan negotiated with Republican lawmakers. That plan included a 2.5% across-the-board cut across multiple state agencies, including the universities. But now Hobbs said she has federal dollars left ove

What makes that significant is that a 2006 voter-approved law requires the state minimum wage to increase each year based on those August-over-August figures. That translates out to 51.5 cents on the current $15.15 minimum. But the law also spells out t

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    PHOENIX – All eyes were on Navajo Code Talker Thomas H. Begay. The 101-year-old veteran saluted while the national anthem played on Friday, kicking off a day of recognition honoring him and the other Navajo recruits who famously used their native language to keep military secrets during World War II. Begay, one of the last two living Code Talkers, made the long trip from his home on the Navajo Nation to the Arizona State Capitol for the event. He was joined by family members and dozens of desc
