Katie Hobbs gets a $100,000 donation to her 'dark money' inauguration fund and suddenly the donor gets a pay boost on its state contract? Sure, that doesn't smell very much. - https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/laurieroberts/2024/06/05/katie-hobbs-donation-sunshine-group-home/73986304007/ - This Arizona group home donated $400,000 to Gov. Katie Hobbs, Democrats and got more state money - https://archive.is/Iq6PW - Arizona’s child welfare agency has for years sought to move vulnerable kids out of group homes and into family-like settings. To reduce the use of group homes, and combined with budget constraints, the Arizona Department of Child Safety has denied pay increases to home operators and cut loose 16 providers during the contract renewal process. Yet even as the state cuts back, one group home provider with close ties to Gov. Katie Hobbs has benefited beyond all others. DCS over the course of the past year approved what amounts to a nearly 60% increase in the rate that Sunshine Residential Homes Inc. charges to care for a child for a day, meaning potentially millions of dollars more going to the company at taxpayers' expense.
