Arizona Budget Breakdown 2027

Arizona’s governor, Katie Hobbs, is set to sign a landmark $18 billion budget that funds everything from water rights battles to childcare and education — including a major $1.4 billion tax break for working families. While hailed as a bipartisan compromise covering fiscal year 2027, critics say it falls short for kids, leaving childcare waitlists unfilled despite new subsidies. Republicans cheer Arizona’s adoption of a federal tax package boosting tips, overtime, and senior/veteran relief — while Hobbs pauses data center tax breaks and shields school vouchers. The budget also funds border security, wildfires, and free school meals — but advocates call it “meh,” wanting more. Signing is expected this Saturday.
