PHOENIX - A House panel gave its approval Tuesday to letting five border cities spend more money.


HCR 2026 would alter a provision of the state constitution that limits each city's spending based on a formula. The net effect would be a higher expenditure limit for small border-area communities.

One component of the existing spending limit is the community's population. Lori Tapia, a Douglas City Council member, said that does not consider the number of people the city really serves.
