But gubernatorial press aide Daniel Scarpinato said Ducey believes the plan he has, to be unveiled Friday, passes constitutional muster.

Issues of state revenues and spending aside, the governor took specific aim at what he said are unnecessary state regulations. But Ducey wants to go farther, scrapping some state oversight entirely.

"Arizona requires licenses for too many jobs, resulting in a maze of bureaucracy for small business people looking to earn an honest living,'' he said. And the governor said he did not need to look far for examples.

"Believe it or not, the state of Arizona actually licenses talent agents,'' he said. "Let's leave the job of finding new talent to ("The Voice'' hosts) Adam Levine and Gwen Stefani, not state government.

Meyer said he shares the governor's view that some regulation may be unnecessary.

"I didn't know that we regulated talent agents until today,'' he conceded.

"It seems like something we don't need to regulate,'' Meyer continued. "But there may be some risk, there may have been some fraud in the past.''

Meyer also chided Ducey for picking and choosing which regulations should be scrapped.
