Bar owners from around the state came to the Capitol on Wednesday in hopes of receiving some help in their bids to reopen.
But it remains unclear what, if anything even the top legislative leaders can do for them, at least in the short term, given that virtually all of the decisions about who can operate and under what conditions are being made by Gov. Doug Ducey and his advisers, and the Legislature doesn’t meet again until January.
House Speaker Rusty Bowers, R-Mesa, said he and Senate President Karen Fann have met with the governor “occasionally” since Ducey declared a state of emergency in March. He described those encounters as “very cordial.”
