STATE
CAPITOL, PHOENIX –
Democratic House Leader Rebecca Rios, D-Phoenix (District 27), released the
following statement regarding HB 2372:
"House
Democrats stood with community members and stakeholders who are holding the
Republicans accountable for both cutting Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
two years ago and for pushing legislation that falls short of fully restoring
those cuts. To be clear, HB 2372 will punish Arizona children and families as
they struggle to recover from crisis. The governor said he was committed to
correcting this problem, but tonight he and Republicans fell short of the that
commitment and failed Arizona kids. This is a bad deal."
