SOS claimed they handed in 142K signatures to put the Empowerment Scholarship Account expansion on the ballot. They needed 119K.
But according to a tally by @GoldwaterInst & @azpolicy, SOS actually turned in fewer than 90K. 2/

Beth Lewis, executive director of Save Our Schools Arizona put on her best game face today as she announced that SOS has gathered enough signatures to put the recent expansion of AZ’s Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program on the ballot. But she doesn't look happy. 2/7
She shouldn't be. SOS needs about 119K valid signatures to refer the ESA expansion to the ballot.
"Valid" is the key word. They only got 142K signatures and the average validity rate is 75%, which would require 150K. They'll need a validity rate of about 84%. 3/7

@ACLU_WA: "Charter Amendment 29 (CA-29) would enshrine Seattle’s current ineffective and harmful practice of sweeping unhoused residents and their homes from public places into the City’s Charter, while doing nothing to meaningfully address homelessness."
@ACLU_WA: "The criminalization of poverty is not only unconstitutional, but an inappropriate way to address the long-standing & intersecting issues of housing affordability, Seattle’s racial wealth divide & community displacement, & the history of structural inequity in housing."
