Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs Under Investigation for Alleged 'Pay-to-Play' Scheme

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is currently under investigation for her involvement in an alleged 'pay-to-play' scheme. This comes after reports surfaced that a business received a significant rate increase following its donation to her inauguration. The investigation is being led by Attorney General Kris Mayes' office, focusing on donations made by a group home company to both Governor Hobbs and the state Democratic Party. The probe aims to uncover the extent of the alleged scheme and its impact on state contracts and political donations. This development has sparked widespread concern and speculation about the potential consequences for Hobbs' administration.

Just goes to show, big government and corruption often go hand-in-hand, no surprise there.

I'm really hoping that there’s more to the story with Governor Katie Hobbs’ situation because it doesn’t sit right with me. It’s crucial that we hold our leaders to the highest ethical standards, especially those we’ve supported and believed would bring positive change. If the allegations turn out to be true, it’s disappointing and a reminder that accountability should apply across the board, no matter the political affiliation. However, I think it's important to wait for all the facts before jumping to conclusions. This investigation needs to be thorough and transparent, to ensure that the public trust is maintained and that justice is served, whatever the outcome.

How would you feel if your favorite politician was accused of engaging in a 'pay-to-play' scheme?

If a politician you didn't support was found guilty of a 'pay-to-play' scheme, would your reaction be different than if it was a politician you supported?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…11mos11MO

Do you think politicians should be allowed to accept donations from businesses they can potentially benefit while in office?

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
