Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has signed a new state budget into law. The Press Room's panel of journalists breaks down what's in the $18.3B budget and what it means for tax cuts and public program funding. Plus, as summer sets and Southern Arizona braces for extreme weather events, we look at the resources available for our most vulnerable residents, the unhoused population. And on the heels of the debate between the Republican candidates for governor, we take a look at that race leading into July's primary election.

PANEL:
Jim Nintzel, Tucson Sentinel
Joe Ferguson, Tucson Agenda
John Washington, Lookout
Laura Holanszky, AZPM News
