On The Ledge: Will Pending Teacher Strike Change Policy Talks At Arizona Capitol?

As Arizona teachers stage more walk-ins Monday in advance of a planned strike on Thursday, lawmakers come back to the capitol to continue work on a new state budget. Gov. Ducey wants his plan to include a 9 percent raise for teachers this year.

Paulina Pineda of The Arizona Capitol Times joined The Show to look at the upcoming week and what impact, if any, last week’s walkout vote will have on the governor’s plan.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
