Chad Campbell And Kurt Davis Discuss Arizona's New Budget

After spending all of Friday night into Saturday morning at the state Capitol, lawmakers approved a budget for the fiscal year beginning on July 1.

Cuts to higher education received the most criticism, though there were concerns about whether enough money was being put toward K-12 education as well.

Some longtime Capitol watchers were simply surprised that a budget this contentious was pushed through in March, with less time devoted to hammering it out.

We talked about that with former Arizona House Minority Leader Chad Campbell and Kurt Davis, partner at Phoenix-based company First Strategic.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
