    [ Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky had sent a letter to Hobbs earlier in the week, pleading with her to veto the legislation, saying it would negatively impact communities in the state.

    “SB 1543 poses a serious threat to local democracy,” the letter read. “It preempts the authority of local governments - elected by and accountable to their communities - to make decisions about planning, zoning, and development. By removing these decisions from the hands of local residents and their representatives, this legislation bypasses the democratic process and sets a dangerous precedent.” ]
