Mayors across maricopa county are threatening to take matters into their own hands after state legislators and the governor failed to

a compromise to allow voters to consider a measure extending a sales tax to fund transportation projects. The republican-majority legislature sent a bill to gov. Katie hobbs on tuesday laden with partisan priorities, like axing a light-rail expansion to the state capitol and preempting bans on gasoline-burning vehicles.
Conservative lawmakers declared victory on behalf of taxpayers. Hobbs, a democrat, immediately pledged to veto the bill, saying republican leadership was "holding our state's economic potential hostage. "in reaction, six mayors signed and issued a letter pledging to take the tax extension to voters directly through "another avenue" in 2024 if no solution is reached.

Phoenix to reopen housing choice vouchers wait list
For the first time in seven years, phoenix will reopen its wait list for housing choice vouchers, formerly known as section 8. For several years, phoenix has reported the voucher wait list for the city’s lowest income residents was too high, but the current number is unclear. In may, phoenix mayor kate gallego, vice mayor yassami ansari and councilwomen betty guardado, kesha hodge-washington, laura pastor, ann o’brien and debra stark signed letters to arizona’s congressional delegation asking for support to get more housing choice vouchers from the department of housing and urban development. The letter cited 16,000 people on the city’s wait list although in march, the city’s housing department put the figure around 14,000.
