Remarks made at State of the State
PHOENIX – State schools chief Tom Horne issued the following reaction to Governor Hobbs’ criticism of the state Empowerment Scholarship Program during her State of the State remarks.
Horne said, “Under my leadership, the department has done a full-court press against waste and fraud. I hired both a program auditor and an investigator, which had not been done before. I require that every expenditure be for a valid educational purpose and have been attacked for doing that.
The Governor needs to pay more attention to what is going on. She gets an ‘F’.”
