Arizona budget and tax plans clash as sessions stall
Arizona lawmakers sharpen for a budget clash with the Senate as House committees race to finish the state budget and overhaul the Arizona Industrial Commission. A House test on industrial insurance was led by Andrew Kalmykow of the American Insurance Association. A failed measure would fund alcohol and drug treatment centers by a 10 percent surcharge on drunken driving fines. A proposed rise in vehicle registration fees stalled in the Senate Finance and Revenue Committee. A liquor import quota bill passed the House and awaits the governor, and a separate measure to handle insanity pleas in trials cleared the House by 32-18 margins.
