Rep. John Kavanagh, R- Fountain Hills.

We started the program wondering what is holding up the state House's passage of a budget for the next fiscal year. Last week along party lines, the Senate moved a budget through. That had many people anticipating the House would do the same.

A vote was supposed to happen on Monday, but it was put off until Tuesday...when, again, there was not a vote.

State Rep. John Kavanagh of Fountain Hills and Jim Small of the Arizona Capitol Times discussed this issue.
