State Treasurer seeks borrowing to avert general fund bankruptcy
Arizona State Treasurer Bart Fleming urged the House Appropriations Committee to authorize borrowing from state special funds to cover a projected July 1 shortfall. Speaker Stan Akers called the financial need urgent as the constitution limits borrowing to 350 000 dollars. Fleming warned the beginning balance could be 35 to 45 million and missing funds may cost up to 3.5 million in interest and repayments. He advised against tax increases, citing limited impact this year and in the future.
