Arizona’s Democratic attorney general has declined to charge Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs over explosive allegations that a major state contractor poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into Democratic political coffers before receiving a lucrative 30 percent rate increase.
Far-left Attorney General Kris Mayes announced Friday that her office would bring no criminal charges against Hobbs over her administration’s dealings with Sunshine Residential Homes.
The numbers behind the investigation were eye-popping.
Sunshine donated $200,000 to the Arizona Democratic Party ahead of Hobbs’ disputed victory over Republican Kari Lake back in 2022.
It then contributed $100,000 to Hobbs’ inaugural fund and another $100,000 to the state Democratic Party in August 2023.
Company founder Simon Kottoor and his wife also donated a combined $10,000 to Hobbs’ gubernatorial campaigns.
At the time of the donations, Sunshine had been pressing the state for a substantial increase in the rate it was paid for each foster-care bed.
