TUCSON, Ariz. — A big battle is brewing over the newly adopted state budget, as state Attorney General Kris Mayes says she's planning on withholding Opioid settlement funds she says the budget uses to cover a deficit.
Pima County is set to receive $100 million over the course of the agreement, and partnered with the City of Tucson to create a plan with how to use their allotment of the settlement. “These will be like $20 each, and they’re $50 retail in the store," Simons says about the two pack boxes of Narcan nasal spray."It's really impactful, this saves so many people."
But Attorney General Mayes believes the current decision by Governor Katie Hobbs and the Republican leadership in the legislature could derail these goals across the state.
