Where's the Governor?

I wish she would call a special session of the legislature, that would be fanfreakintastic!
-
@George-K Nope. And it is (narrowly) a Republican Controlled Legislature.

She was
getting sniffedmeeting with Biden. -
Hobbs didn’t disappear. She was in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday for a meeting about border issues with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas following a weeklong visit to Taiwan, an important Arizona trade ally. She flew back to the state Thursday to meet with President Joe Biden, who arrived Wednesday night for a visit that promoted his campaign messages.
Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes was acting governor while Hobbs was out of state, but he left the state Wednesday for a pre-planned trip to Washington, D.C., where he’ll meet with congressional staff and members “about the need for federal funding for elections,” said Fontes’ spokesman, Paul Smith-Leonard.
State Attorney General Kris Mayes, next in the state’s line of succession, is also in Washington, D.C., for “meetings” and will return Friday morning, said her spokesman, Richie Taylor.
That just strikes me as odd. Does a governor relinquish his/her role when leaving the state?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I just put an out-of-office email on when I'm away from my enormously important job. If they really need to find somebody who's capable of failing to make a decision in my absence, I figure they'll work it out.

In some states, yes.
