PHOENIX â When the legislature shut down in the spring, there were fears Arizonaâs budget deficit would exceed a billion dollars by July 2021. Itâs not going to happen. In fact, the state is expecting a $351 million surplus.
âThis is probably one of the budgets I felt most comfortable starting out with,â State Representative Regina Cobb (R) Kingman District 5 said. Cobb is the Chair of the House Appropriations Committee. âWeâre still going to have a lot of negotiating going forward but I feel very comfortable where itâs starting at.â
