Ducey -- another wannabe Guv. courting the Tea Partiers.
And it's not a tax increase -- it maintains the current tax

This story smacks of someone looking for attention. And when Ducey runs for governor in 2014, remember this and the fact he's only doing all of this to help get him voted.
Anyone notice how this 1-cent tax two years ago has affected their personal finances? I keep pretty close track of my money and I can't find any affect from this miniscule tax.
Look, our AZ legislature is hell-bent on cutting as much money from education as they can get away with. This tax was passed by the voters and now we can vote to continue it or have it stop. Either way, at least the voters get a say. When the legislature does things, the voters have little or no say.

If the so called conservatives are against it, it must be a good thing.
