Arizona Governor Sues Legislature

On June 17, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, a Republican, sued the Arizona legislature, which has Republican majorities in both houses. See this story, or this one. The legislature has passed budget bills, but the legislature hasn’t forwarded those bills to the Governor. Legislative leaders suspect the Governor will veto the bills when she gets them, so they have delayed sending the bills. The Arizona Supreme Court will hear arguments on Tuesday, June 23, although they haven’t promised to take the case.
