Ducey declares war on Treasurer Jeff DeWit

“And so that’s what we’re going to see. How far they can throw me off the cliff for opposing him on an idea.” – DeWit on Ducey’s threat to “make an example” of him for opposing the trust land reform proposal.
The feud between Gov Ducey began the day Treasurer Jeff DeWit, the guy in charge of managing the state’s money, when DeWit had a difference of opinion on raiding the state trust fund for education. Of course, Ducey never mentioned that the state already allocates 54% of the state budget to education in Arizona (Source: Sen. Kavanagh). That’s a hardy chunk of change considering everyone constantly cries out about needing more money for education! The point is pretty obvious to us at AFA: cut the fat, cut the unnecessary administrative staff, cut the unnecessary new perks, stop the lawsuits and dedicate the money to educating kids in the classroom.
