Arizona Democrats in tough spot over 'tamale bill' Hobbs vetoed

(The Center Square) – Legislative Democrats will find themselves choosing between their freshman governor and a key constituency Tuesday.

Democrats in both chambers of the Arizona Legislature have announced that they wouldn't defy Gov. Katie Hobbs on her veto of a measure allowing the sale of more cottage foods like tamales.

House Bill 2509 would have legalized the sale of many types of common street food in Arizona. It passed the state Legislature with a supermajority.
