Yee said, “I am expecting to see a swift resolution in this matter so that we can finish the job for Arizona taxpayers.”

Yee did not comment on the absence of the governor in her press statement and she did not respond immediately to Fox News Digital’s request for clarification. Hobbs did not respond immediately to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
