Special session rumors, ESA bargains, tax cut politics & Trump’s reflecting pool29 jun56 min

<p class="MsoNormal">Arizona's Family political editor Dennis Welch is joined by consultants Marcus Dell&rsquo;Artino and Stacy Pearson to unpack rumors of a special legislative session where Republicans may repeal late-night retaliatory ballot measures in exchange for weaker ESA restrictions. They discuss union and campaign-funding pressures, unintended impacts on police and fire unions from anti-union language, and Governor Katie Hobbs&rsquo; leverage amid calls to unwind the measures. Dennis then talks with producer Colin Stanton about the complicated dealmaking, Hobbs&rsquo; bipartisan posture, and her touted &ldquo;historic&rdquo; tax cuts that mirror Trump&rsquo;s package while universities face cuts. They also cover the White House Reflecting Pool algae/repair controversy and finish with World Cup reactions and broader thoughts on U.S. player development.</p>
