I just voted NO (by early ballot) on Proposition 100. It proposes an
increase in Arizona state sales tax by 1% per dollar for three years.
My reasons are as follows:
1. Two-thirds of the monies will go to the already huge, greedy, and self-centered educational lobby in this state.
2. The grade school that I attended 45 years ago (Royal Palm @ 19th Ave & Butler) was recently remodeled.
It is now a luxury institution looking far more upscale than it ever did when I attended school there.
3. That grade school is now 58.6% Hispanic!
Most of the Hispanic children
