Arizona Vetoes Charlie Kirk Highway
8 hours ago
There will be no Charlie Kirk Highway in his home state of Arizona, and politics is at the center of the decision.
Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill that would have named a Phoenix-area highway after
Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was assassinated last year. Hobbs said the process had become too political and should have been left to a state board.
Republican lawmakers, however, argue that the governor is the one injecting politics into the decision.
Similar efforts to honor Kirk are now underway in more than 20 states across the country.
