The Governor’s Office said it doesn’t believe a special session is needed to provide more funding to the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, which warned that it won’t have enough money to pay its legal bills through the end of the year and may sue if it can’t get more money before January.
The dispute is the most recent in a string of feuds over funding between the Legislature and the IRC.
The commission will only have $59,000 to for pay for legal services in December, which normally cost about $100,000 a month. Legally, the IRC cannot authorize expenses that it cannot afford to pay.
