Arizona House passes budget after change of heart from Republican holdout; Hobbs won't sign it

A Chandler lawmaker who scuttled her Republican peers' plans to pass a budget last week and pledged to vote "no" again without major spending cuts instead helped approve the GOP plan on Monday on a party-line vote.

The theatrical flourish, which some may see as a broken promise, may not mean much, though: Gov. Katie Hobbs said soon after the vote that she would not sign the Republican plan.

Rep. Liz Harris, a first-time politician and prolific election conspiracy promoter, left the state House immediately after adjournment, ignoring a reporter's request for comment about her vote flip.

The Chandler Republican texted later that her change of mind was because of a "really good cup of espresso" before the vote, but later explained she meant "no comment."
