Will Arizona Lawmakers Approve Gov. Ducey's Budget Deal?

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced Monday that he had reached a budget deal with lawmakers that is supposed to include a 20 percent raise for teachers by 2020.

It hasn’t satisfied teachers and the #RedForEd movement but Republican legislative leaders are on board.

The key question remains whether rank and file lawmakers will go along and, potentially, end the legislative session this week.

Joining The Show with the latest from the Capitol on how GOP lawmakers are crafting the budget is Howard Fischer of Capitol Media Services.
