The Arizona House of Representatives has laid off approximately 10% of its staff. These cuts affect non-partisan and administrative roles, including secretaries, security, and analysts. The layoffs are a direct result of recent state budget reductions. This action comes despite similar budget cuts affecting the State Senate and Governor's Office, which did not result in job losses. House leaders have faced scrutiny for recent expenditures on capital improvements and legal fees.
