Arizona Governor Faces Tamales Controversy

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill that would have allowed home cooks to sell perishable food legally, citing concerns about food-borne illnesses and pests in home kitchens. The veto has sparked a backlash from the Latino community, who argue that the bill would have helped working-class immigrants, many of whom are undocumented, to start their own food businesses. The bill would have allowed home cooks to register with the state to legally sell perishable foods like tamales and salsas.
