Hobbs said there was no guarantee landlords would pass along the savings to renters. The measure includes language requiring the savings flow to renters, but legislative lawyers say that may be unconstitutional.
PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs on Thursday vetoed a bill that would have eliminated taxes on apartments and rental homes.
“If we are going to promise relief to renters, it's important that we are able to ensure they actually receive it,” Hobbs wrote in a veto letter. “For working families faced with ever-increasing rental prices, this proposal just doesn't fit the bill.”
