The budget dropped Tuesday. To be clear, this is a series of 12 Budget Reconciliation Bills (BRBs) with each addressing a policy "bucket." You can find them at azleg.gov HB2841 – HB2852 1/12
You've heard this budget called "skinny" "baseline" or "continuation" meant to make it seem harmless. It keeps the agencies funded and allows the state to continue its work uninterrupted by the legislature. It is ANYTHING BUT harmless. Let's dig in… 2/12
First, Arizona is sitting on a $5 BILLION surplus in revenues, $1.57 billion available for ongoing long-term investments like education. Yet, the majority wants to just put it on a shelf and go home rather than address YOUR needs, Arizona. 3/12
Update now has 60 percent for Yes on 208.
Yes on 208 now at 57%. Race is tightening as more votes come in. 
This is a longer thread, but it's important that the truth about why we need to support #InvestInEd gets out there, because the opposition’s argument about Prop. 208 harming small businesses is bogus. Here’s why:
The only people who will pay the small additional education funding surcharge are single people making over $250k or married couples making over $500k. And the surcharge only applies to the income above those levels.
So, in other words, if you’re a married couple making $501,000 you’ll pay a new surcharge of only $35 on the additional $1,000 in income above the $500k. That’s it.
The room is packed at #AzLeg this morning to support #INVESTinED #OutlawDirty #CleanEnergyForAHealthyArizona

There’s still seating in the side room, if you’d like to join.
