Arizona joins several states across the country in taking steps to ease stay-at-home orders. We checked in with Hank Stephenson, editor of the Yellow Sheet Report, for analysis on the state’s plan, including how state lawmakers figure into the mix.
“They’ve been in recess for weeks now. They’re getting a little stir crazy. Some of them definitely want to come back,” Stephenson said. “I think this is probably the biggest portion of lawmakers want to come back and maybe do some very limited legislation related to coronavirus.”
Stephenson also discussed reports that President Trump plans to travel to Arizona next week.
“He may be coming to visit Honeywell, which has been producing N95 medical face masks at a high rate,” Stephenson said. “But the very idea of Trump coming here I think kind of emboldens some of his supporters who have been calling for lifting the restrictions on the economy.”
