"Arizona voters already passed a measure that requires a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to pass any tax increase. That was done to ensure that politicians consider all alternatives for raising revenue before they simply pass additional tax burdens on to Arizona residents and small businesses. Prop 132 applies this same reasoning to ballot questions by requiring 60% of the voters to approve tax increases placed on the ballot. Not only does this protect our wallets during times of skyrocketing inflation and gas prices, it also limits the ability of out-of-state special interests to raise our taxes for their own pet projects." - Victor Riches, President & CEO of The Goldwater Institute, in support of Proposition 132 (Learn more)
""Ballot initiatives in Arizona are voter protected, meaning once passed, the state Legislature cannot make changes or corrections except to further the intent of the measure. It is vitally important to get ballot initiatives right the first time. That is one reason why adjusting the threshold from 51% to 60% approval for ballot measures that increase taxes makes sense. It allows citizens to continue to offer proposed tax laws but requires a greater majority of voters to cement the measure into law."" - Cathi Herrod, President of the Center for Arizona Policy Action, in support of Proposition 132 (Learn more)
""This is a clear contradiction to the will of the framers of the Arizona constitution. Article 2, Section 2 of the Arizona Constitution states: ""All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights."" Why should a majority of the legislature have more power than a majority of the voters? THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS URGES YOU TO VOTE NO."" - Pinny Sheoran, President of the League of Women Voters of Arizona, sponsored by League of Women Voters of Arizona, in opposition to Proposition 132 (Learn more)
""If people are Arizona's future, then they should be trusted to choose when new taxes are needed. When elected officials refuse to hear the will of the voters and starve the state of the financial resources it needs, the initiative and referendum process allows Arizonans to take the state budget into their own hands. At the ballot, Arizonans should be able to build a People First Economy—one where the resources are available so that children get the care and education they deserve, maintain quality roads, and protect green spaces and parks. A ""No"" vote is for Arizona's people. A ""No"" vote is for Arizona's future."" - Andrew Sugrue and May Mgbolu, Assistant Directors of Policy and Advocacy at the Arizona Center for Economic Progress, in opposition to Proposition 132 (Learn more)
