Brewer signs tax cuts package into law
Tax cuts
This spring, Gov. Jan Brewer signed legislation with a package of tax cuts for business she said would stimulate the economy. Looking on were Sen. Steve Yarbrough, House Speaker Andy Tobin and Senate President Steve Pierce. In Germany on Tuesday to promote Arizona, Brewer said additional tax cuts are not needed for now.

A $700,000,000.00 give away to the rich, on the backs of, you guessed it, THE VOTERS. The poor slobs who don't have enough money to buy influence because they have to spend theirs on food.
I'm ashamed to say I live in this state with idiots and crooks in control. A governor who needs a brain and a sheriff who is a fat bigot who is spending millions of our dollars fighting truth and justice.
They all belong in JAIL!!!!!!!!!!

Gee, its good to see an article where the writer doesn't inject his opinion into a thoughtful well written article reporting facts. There is no way I could tell whether the writer thinks tax cuts are good for state revenue because they encourage growth and increase receipts or if they reduce state revenue and have no effect on jobs growth. No way at all.

Three cheers and a job well-done, Gov. Brewer. This will encourage job creation by those capable of offering "livable wages". It is a proven fact: Lower taxes spurs growth and increases the States coffers for a healthier economy and expanded investment.

Dear downtownresident: You can always move to another "downtown" where all your needs are met by your "socialist dictator" that you voted-in. Detroit MI, comes to mind.

k3t3j88,
Poor child. None of the tax giveaways to the rich that the "public servants" have passed so far have brought down unemployment, or helped the economy.
It has helped the hedge funds and unethical traders and politicians, Fannie and Freddie to make billions.
The "socialist dictator" is black. Get over it!

DING DING DING! And we have a winner! Today's "Progressive Liberal Racist Jacka_s_s Award" goes to downtownresident for interjecting racism when he has no valid argument.

Thank you slabside for bringing a little bit of sunshine into my life. Your no-nonsense approach to real-life issues is a breath of fresh air.

California's economy is the eighth largest economy in the world.
The state budget shortfall in California has increased dramatically in the last six months, forcing state officials to assemble a series of new spending cuts that are likely to mean further reductions to schools, health care and other social programs already battered by nearly five years of budget retrenchment, state officials announced on Saturday.
Gov. Jerry Brown, disclosing the development in a video posted on YouTube, said that California’s shortfall was now projected to be $16 billion, up from $9.2 billion in January. Mr. Brown said that he would propose a revised budget on Monday to deal with it.
“We are now facing a $16 billion hole, not the $9 billion we thought in January,” Mr. Brown said. “This means we will have to go much further and make cuts far greater than I asked for at the beginning of the year.”
Aren't you glad you don't live in the newest failed socialist experiment. downtownrodent why don't you go live with the rest of the vermin in the Peoples Republic of Mexifornia.
Here in Arizona we care that all our citizens are employed and deport thieving illegal aliens. As the aliens leave Arizona for Mexifornia, Mexifornia business will be coming here for the better fiscal environment.

Would anyone like to estimate how much Mexifornia pays out in social programs and other costs for the millions of illegal aliens they harbor? Mexifornia's nearly 3 million illegal immigrants cost taxpayers nearly $9 billion each year. Educating the children of illegal immigrants is the largest cost, estimated at $7.7 billion each year, according to the report. Medical care for illegal immigrants and incarceration of those who have committed crimes are the next two largest expenses. The $9 billion figure does not include other expenses that are difficult to measure, such as special English instruction, school lunch programs, and welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal immigrant workers. Will you ever hear a Mexifornia politician state the obvious? Never because that, of course, would be racist.

Thank God we have a republican led government that cares more about getting people (US Citizens) back to work and not a socialist one like California has.
