"NO!"  to any new tax cuts.  

We only have discretionary funds of about $378 mil – to be spread over 3 years!

We Must fix our school buildings, pay for caregivers for those with disabilities, and cover basic healthcare for state employees.
  That uses up all of the $378 mil in just 1 year.

Support education, childcare, and safety.

No new tax cuts!

-- Mary Q. Publicperson,   Peoria 

To pay for education, road maintenance, and public safety, please

Stop the DATA CENTER tax incentives Now!  And vote NO on HB2873.
Repeal all the tax exemptions for data centers. Nobody wants one near their neighborhood because of the noise,
air pollution, water over-use,  skyrocketing electricity bills, and even more HEAT!  
Repeal the incentives now to save $38 mil this year and avoid losing hundreds of millions yearly as more data centers open in Arizona.  We do not want them here.

Please continue Gov. Hobbs' investment in childcare support.  Continue the $45 mil that helps families who cannot afford childcare to get a job and keep it. 

Please do not offer tax deductions to wealthy families and say that is for childcare. Wealthy families do not need a tax cut for the childcare they can already afford. 

The families who work full time for low pay need subsidies to even get childcare.  Continue Hobbs’ program to reduce the waitlists for childcare for workers.

Tax the Billionaires who have sports-betting licenses! They should pay higher fees for their profits in the gambling industry.   
They do not contribute to the Division of Problem Gambling at all.  
They should pay a portion to the Problem Gambling programs, and more to the general fund. The paltry 10%  that they pay now is not fair to the people of Arizona. 
    
Other states get twice or 4 times that much from sports-betting license-owner billionaires. 

This tax should not affect the tribes because they are generally much smaller operations - not billionaires.

Dear Gov. Hobbs,

Thank you for including extreme heat mitigation in your budget proposal.  Care for our neighbors is fundamental to being human. 

PLEASE VETO HB2873. 

The Town Council of Marana voted to allow the Beale data center project.  Next, thousands of citizens of Marana signed the petition to overturn the town council’s vote because the people do not want it in their town! 

Large data centers are horrible near homes because they increase the heat, use too much water, and spike electricity bills for everybody but themselves!  We need regulations and reforms.

This year, please Repeal all the tax incentives that data centers get.  

Dear Gov. Hobbs,

Thank you for all your vetoes!  Your childcare program has been great!  It’s good for our whole economy, so please continue the funding each year.

PLEASE VETO HB2873. 

It specifically violates the AZ Constitutional rights of the people of Marana to vote in a city referendum. They have done the work to gather signatures, and every person who signed it has the right to vote in the election about the data center.  ** HB2873 applies to all cities and towns! **

Data centers need reforms now! Please start by repealing all the tax incentives they get.  
    The jobs constructing data centers are temporary, and developers usually over-promise and under-deliver on jobs. But the harms to people stay for years and years.  

Dear Rep. xxx, 

Please vote NO on SB1633, the
Mega tax-dodge for Mansions.  In current law, when you sell your home, you pay no capital gains on the profit if the profit is less than $500,000.  That protects the nest egg life savings for the middle class, and it's a good thing.

But SB1633 is a bad bill.  It would have no limit on the income tax exemption.  A zillionaire with a $2 mil profit does not need even bigger tax favors for the rich!
