Andy Biggs Won’t Answer About Budget Cuts He Would Have Signed Into Law

While Arizona Republicans in the Legislature are proposing a harmful budget that would make it harder to fight wildfires, cut first responder pay and undermine child safety services – all to give $600 million in tax breaks to billionaires and special interests, and a $30 million tax break for data centers – Andy Biggs praised them for doing “a pretty good job.”

However, when asked by the Yellow Sheet Report to go further into detail since the cuts would be devastating for Arizonans, Biggs “wouldn’t elaborate.”

It’s no surprise Biggs is backing these disastrous cuts and praising the partisan politicians proposing them because he voted in DC for the reckless partisan budget law that is ripping away healthcare, raising costs, and threatening rural hospitals.

Copper State Victory spokesperson Nicholas Simões Machado said:

“Andy Biggs is praising these devastating cuts that will make life harder for everyday Arizonans while helping billionaires and special interests get ahead. Instead of hiding, he needs to explain to Arizonans exactly why he wants to make it harder to fight wild fires, slash pay for first responders and cut meals and child safety services for kids – all at a time when he’s already voted in DC to rip away our healthcare and raise costs.”
