In a clash over fiscal responsibility and bureaucratic efficiency, Arizona’s State Schools Chief Tom Horne publicly criticized Governor Hobbs after she expressed dissatisfaction with the risk-based audit method for Empowerment Scholarship Program reimbursements-a procedure outlined in legislation she previously endorsed. Horne pointed out the method in question was legally sanctioned in the last budget statute signed off by the Governor herself, stating, “The method we are instituting, known as risk-based auditing, is specifically provided for in the budget statute that the Governor signed last session. Maybe she should start reading what she signs,” in the Arizona Department of Education release.
