HB 2069 shifts taxes from the wealthiest Arizonans to low and middle income taxpayers, attempts to limit options available to future legislatures, and depends on a “best guess” to make sure that state revenues aren’t cut back too far with no chance of correction….This ill-advised legislation has many problems: At a time when Arizona is struggling to pay its bills, close a structural deficit, and support voter priorities for education and child safety, it dictates future fiscal priorities to future legislatures.
