Part of Gov. Katie Hobbs’ proposed $1 billion in state deficit cuts will drive some Maricopa motorists mad.
The governor proposes axing a $25 million interchange project planned on Riggs Road at State Route 347, which would eliminate the traffic light there.
Teresa Martinez, the vice chair of the House Transportation Committee and one of Maricopa’s representatives said that she’s ready to fight to keep the overpass project alive.
“I will, in no way support a budget that takes away money from 1-10 or 347,” Martinez said. “If I have to go through each agency and find cuts to make up for the money, I’ll do it.”
