It’s not just about finding fraud with DOGE, it’s about getting taxpayer $$ back and going after bad actors. Arizona will do that when I’m Governor.

A recent report claimed fraud in Arizona’s ESA program was as high as 20%. But a closer look at the actual data tells a very different story. According to state officials and independent analysis, the real fraud rate is a fraction of that number, raising serious questions about how the original claim was presented. This piece breaks down where the 20% number came from, why it’s misleading, and what the facts actually show. Read more 👇 azfree.org/blog/2026/03/1…

ARIZONANS NEEDED CLARITY. KATIE HOBBS CHOSE CHAOS. CHAOSKATIE.com State tax law is still in limbo because Katie Hobbs vetoed a second tax conformity bill, even after Republican lawmakers advanced a revised proposal that aligned with the tax forms already released by her own Department of Revenue. Instead of giving Arizona families certainty during tax season, Hobbs chose more confusion, more delays, and more dysfunction. Now, taxpayers could be forced to amend their returns while paying more because of a crisis that was entirely avoidable. By vetoing the very bill that would have brought state law into line with the forms her own administration had already issued, Hobbs deepened the confusion and left Arizona families stuck paying the price for her failed leadership. That is the Hobbs pattern: contradiction, incompetence, and chaos. While hardworking Arizonans are simply trying to file their taxes on time, Hobbs has left them in limbo and forced them to deal with the consequences of a mess her administration helped create.

Why does school choice keep making headlines? The ESA program is one of the most accountable government programs in Arizona. And what is it actually doing? Serving families. Helping kids. Expanding opportunity. So why the constant attacks? Why can’t families just educate their children in peace? The answer is simple: Because school choice takes away money and control from a system that’s used to having both. Full Story: azfreenews.com/2026/03/hobbs-…

The "journalists" at 12News are doubling down on lying about the rate of school choice fraud in Arizona. They claim 20% misspending based on a RISK-BASED audit. The actual random sample showed it was only 0.3%. You don't hate the media enough.

ARIZONA FAMILIES NEED RELIEF FROM ENDLESS LOCAL COST HIKES HB 4030 would help stop the endless cycle of local cost increases HCR 2052 would let Arizona voters decide the issue directly if Katie Hobbs stands in the way of relief We need your help right now: Call your state representatives and tell them to support HB 4030 and HCR 2052 Call your city council members and tell them to stop opposing taxpayer protections and start standing with the families they represent While state lawmakers have worked to cut taxes and protect taxpayers, many cities and towns across Arizona have gone the other direction — raising sales taxes, fees, and utility rates and making affordability even worse for hardworking families. That’s why we support HB 4030 and HCR 2052. These measures would place a 4-year moratorium on new local tax, fee, and utility rate increases 📷 giving Arizona families some much-needed breathing room while costs remain high. Local governments have continued piling on new burdens while claiming they have no choice. But the facts tell a different story: municipal budgets have grown, shared revenue from the state has surged, and taxpayers are still being asked to pay more. 📷 Enough is enough. Arizona families deserve a break. Freeze the hikes. Protect affordability. Put taxpayers first.

Scot Mussi joined James T. Harris on The Conservative Circus to break down the growing tax chaos at the Arizona Capitol, and why it matters for every Arizona family. 👉 Republican lawmakers moved quickly to deliver $1.1 BILLION in tax relief and certainty before filing season. 👉 Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed it TWICE, and failed to offer a real plan to fix the problem. 👉 Now, taxpayers are left facing confusion, potential refiling, and even higher costs. This isn’t just politics, it’s your wallet, your taxes, and your future. Scot lays out exactly what’s happening, why it matters, and what comes next. 📢 Get the full breakdown and stay informed: ChaosKatie.com Arizona families deserve certainty, accountability, and real leadership — not chaos. iheart.com/podcast/1248-t…

Episode 006 📜 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE 🚨 AFFORDABILITY ALERT — WE SUPPORT • HB 4030 / HCR 2052 — Freeze on Local Tax, Fee, and Utility Rate Increases Cities and towns across Arizona have been raising taxes, fees, and utility rates year after year while families struggle to keep up. These bills would place a four-year moratorium on local tax, fee, and utility hikes, giving families time to catch up. The legislation passed Committee of the Whole in the House but has not yet received a final floor vote — and time is running out. 📞 TAKE ACTION NOW: • Call your state representatives and urge them to vote YES • Call your city council members and tell them to stop sending taxpayer-funded lobbyists to the Capitol to oppose this bill That’s right — your own tax dollars are being used to lobby against you. ⛽ ENERGY COST RELIEF — WE SUPPORT • HB 2014 — Fuel Blend Reform Arizonans pay more at the pump than much of the country due to a boutique fuel blend requirement that limits supply and drives up prices. This bill would open the door to more affordable fuel options, giving drivers real relief at the gas station. 💰 GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY — WE SUPPORT • HCR 2058 — Medicaid Spending Audit Medicaid is one of the largest expenditures in Arizona’s budget, yet taxpayers have little visibility into how those dollars are spent. This measure would send a resolution directly to voters requiring: • A line-by-line audit of Medicaid spending over the last three years • Recovery of any funds paid out fraudulently Arizona taxpayers deserve to know their money is going to people who truly need it — not fraudsters exploiting the system. 📅 STAY ENGAGED Join our weekly Friday calls for the full breakdown of bills moving at the Capitol.

"Gov. Hobbs removed school choice advocate from board after lobbyist push." (via @ErickTrevino) azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

The "journalist" who blocked me for calling out his lies about school choice is now falsely saying it's because I "doxxed" his family and posted pictures of them. That is another lie. I never posted any pictures of his family. He couldn't handle the data refuting his lies.

School choice opponents want a monopoly. They want families locked into one system with no alternatives. But competition improves everything—including education. ESAs give families options and push all schools to improve. That’s why the program keeps growing. Families want choices, not monopolies.

🚨 Warning: Republicans may be walking into a major political trap. Katie Hobbs wants lawmakers to approve a “clean” Prop 123 extension worth roughly $300M per year. But here’s the key fact the media keeps ignoring: ❌ There is no funding cliff ✅ The legislature already replaced the funding So what’s really happening? Hobbs needs a political win heading into reelection, and a Prop 123 deal would hand it to her. Republicans should say no. No bailout. No blank check. No political lifeline.

You are lying. I found the sample of 2,000 and it showed unallowable spending at less than 2%. That is roughly the same result as the larger sample of 3,000. Retract your @12News article.
