flag Arizona Gov. Hobbs signs tax cuts aligning with federal changes, saving middle-class families $469 avg, sparking political debate.

flag Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has signed an executive order implementing tax cuts mirroring federal changes from the "Big Beautiful Bill," raising the state standard deduction and adding breaks for seniors, tips, overtime, and car loan interest. flag The move, aimed at middle-class families, is expected to save an average of $469 annually for a 68-year-old single worker earning $75,000. flag While Hobbs urges legislative adoption to ensure stability, Republican lawmakers oppose the selective alignment, warning it could create complex double calculations and calling the initiative politically motivated. flag The plan costs $215 million, less than full conformity’s $318 million estimate, with funding to come from budget adjustments. flag The debate continues as lawmakers prepare for 2027 budget negotiations.
