Gov. Doug Ducey’s threat to withhold revenue from cities and towns that enact their own wage and employment laws got big applause during his State of the State address, but some local officials suggested it was an overly aggressive attempt to exert control over them while others said the threat was unnecessary.
Ducey called on cities “to put the brakes on ill-advised plans to create a patchwork of different wage and employment laws,” saying doing so would harm the Arizona economy.
