Arizona in Shock as $339m disappeared from their budget. What Is Democrat Katie Hobbs doing?

As her polling numbers continue to sink and she struggles under the weight of governing, Governor Katie Hobbs took another hit this week when her chief budget adviser announced her exit.

On Wednesday, Sarah Brown, director of the Governor’s Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting, advised that she would be leaving on February 12.

“Working for you has been a dream, but the time has come for me to give more of myself to other parts of my life,” she wrote in a resignation letter to the Governor, according to the Arizona Republic.

Brown has been serving as budget director since late 2022. According to the Arizona Republic, Brown and Hobbs had “worked together for three years, with Brown serving as Hobbs’ chief financial officer and human resources director when Hobbs was secretary of state.”

Brown’s resignation came just hours before news broke that $339 million had disappeared from Hobb’s proposed Arizona budget. While the state still has a surplus, the missing money has lawmakers asking questions.

“$339m disappeared from Arizona’s budget and I have questions for Katie Hobbs!” tweeted Arizona State Representative Alex Kolodin.
