Governor signs budget including pay raises, highway construction

The Arizona Daily Sun

PHOENIX (AP) -- Gov. Janet Napolitano on Monday signed into law a $10.6 billion state budget that includes new money for teacher pay raises and bioscience research, and sets the state on course to build new schools, prisons and highways.

The budget, which goes into effect July 1, increases spending by $216 million, or 2.3 percent, from the current fiscal year's budget, while providing $10.5 million in new tax relief. That's in addition to previously approved tax cuts that won't kick in until the coming fiscal year.
