"Half-Cent" is a 9 percent tax increase on an incredibly regressive tax that hits the poor the hardest. Global corporations need to pay their own way.
This isn't even a new tax. It's a tax that has been in place for 40 years and has paid for pretty much every freeway mile and light rail track in the area. The tax expires in 2025 and this is a debate over renewing it. If it fails, Phoenix will be Los Angeles with "rush hour" lasting all day in another 10 years.
In general, if you just wait a bit somebody will post an archive link.
Thanks for the assist.
If you think sales tax is too high lower the “slush fund” taxes that get tossed around for political favors and empire building.
