The Arizona legislature is running amuck with some very destructive bills: legislation to suppress voting, tax cuts that will hurt public education, expanding vouchers for private education, and others.
Arizona has the distinction of having the country's highest number of introduced voter suppression bills. Arizona state representative, John Kavanaugh, made national news with his statement: "...everybody shouldn't be voting."
The state legislature is also trying to reverse the will of voters who passed two citizen's initiatives to prevent voucher expansion and to create a surtax to generate funds for public education.
We must ACT NOW to stop these attacks on our democracy.
