Rep. Bolding parses out Arizona's new bipartisan budget

reginald bolding, jr
Arizona Legislature
Reginald Bolding Jr. represents District 27 in the Arizona House.

The 2022 legislative session was one of the longest in recent memory, and as mid-June arrived, there was some concern that a budget wouldn’t be passed before the end of the fiscal year.

And then something surprising happened — a series of budget bills was approved with Republican and Democratic support, the first time a truly bipartisan budget was put into effect since the Napolitano administration.

House Minority Leader Reginald Bolding backed the budget, saying, “weighed all together, the good in this budget — finally — outweighs the bad.”

The Show spoke with Rep. Bolding to wrap up the overall session.
