Just when Hobbs thought the Democrat AG had bailed her out, new reporting brings to light additional corruption accusations
GILBERT, AZ—New reporting from multiple Arizona media outlets has revealed additional corruption and ethics accusations against Katie Hobbs as her Culture of Corruption continues to bring negative scrutiny and headlines to her campaign.
The Arizona Republic reported that Hobbs’s favorite political donor Simon Kottoor, the CEO of Sunshine Residential Homes, had told then-Department of Child Safety Director Mike Faust that Kottoor could help him keep his job if he approved a massive taxpayer-funded rate hike for Sunshine.
Faust declined to do so and was later fired by Hobbs, whose administration ultimately approved a rate hike only for Sunshine Residential after their executives made additional political contributions to support Hobbs and her endeavors.
Arizona Capitol Media reported this morning that Katie Hobbs is still refusing to disclose who has made donations to her dark-money “Legal Defense Fund”, despite donations from Sunshine Residential to that fund being made public through the course of the criminal investigation for corruption.
In response to the additional reporting, the Biggs for Arizona campaign released a new ad, “Katie Hobbs’s Culture of Corruption”, which includes details on:
-The ongoing criminal investigation for an alleged pay-to-play scheme where Katie Hobbs’s administration approved a massive $4 million rate hike for a six-figure political donor;
-Hobbs’s administration awarding a $700,000 contract for a new state logo, which included funds sent to a crony of the Arizona Office of Tourism Director’s former consulting firm;
-Hobbs’s Department of Housing wiring $2 million in taxpayer funds to a scammer.
