For example, vote:
• YES on Prop 209 on Predatory Debt Collection Protection.
• YES on Prop 211: “Voters’ right to Know Act,” aka “Stop Dark Money.”
• YES on Prop 308, which allows in-state tuition to students, including “Dreamers.”
• YES on Prop 310: Proposes a 20-year 1/10th of a cent increase in the state sales tax to help fund Fire Districts.
Vote NO on everything else:
• NO on Prop 128: the deceptive “Voter Protection Act” that allows the Legislature to overturn voter-approved initiatives.
• NO on Prop 129: which would delay and discourage citizens’ initiatives
• NO on Prop 130: a is a sneaky way to get another corporate tax cut under the radar
• NO on Prop 131: requires candidates for Governor to select a running mate to serve as Governor, which has been rejected by Arizona voters three times.
• NO on Prop 132, which requires a 60% “supermajority” of movers to pass any initiative that includes a tax; current law requires only 1%.
• NO on Prop 309: Imposes more restrictive requirements for voters at the polls and a separate affidavit with a birth date for mail-in voting.
