Hobbs has now vetoed 18 bills since lawmakers convened in early January. The record is held by Democrat Janet Napolitano who nixed 58 bills in 2005.

Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed legislation Tuesday designed to push Arizona banks into doing business with gun manufacturers and dealers.

People are also reading… That veto drew the ire of Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City. He argued that the cities are getting more money in state shared revenues and that allowing them to continue the local tax on groceries was"only padding cities' bloated budgets instead of leaving more money in the wallets of hardworking taxpayers."

There has been a move in recent years by some financial institutions to refuse to do business with certain elements of the firearms community. "Discrimination sucks," he told lawmakers during a hearing on the bill."It has become increasingly common due to anti-gun rhetoric continuously employed by the media, some politicians and gun-control groups."
