DOGE Is Already Starting In Arizona!

We’re about 11 days out from President Trump being officially back in town, but the Arizona DOGE committee is already getting started.

Shortly after President Trump announced the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) committee, Arizona set up their own version.

Now, Republican Arizona State Rep. Alexander Kolodin has revealed a series of huge cuts the state is looking to make in order to slim down government spending.

I’m with you on that, George.

I’m liking this new trend.

KJZZ Phoenix has more details on the Arizona DOGE committee:

Arizona’s upcoming Legislature has a new regulatory oversight committee – which lawmakers are comparing to the federal Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE,” to be headed by Elon Musk.

The Republican-controlled Legislature established the committee in the House and Senate for the first time this year.

“What we’re trying to continue is highlight that we want to keep government in check and efficient,” House Speaker Steve Montenegro (R-Goodyear) said.

The lawmakers haven’t said yet what specifically the committee intends to do, but Rep. Alexander Kolodin, who will vice-chair the House committee, says that, in a nutshell, it’s about “getting rid of stuff” the government doesn’t need.

“I think it’s supposed to be like a DOGE committee that’s focused on government efficiency and government oversight, so slimming down the government, streamlining it and overseeing it,” Kolodin said on Wednesday. “I found out about this committee today.”

Get ‘er done!
