TODAY'S STUDY SESSION IS A BIG DEAL WITH SIX IMPORTANT ITEMS ON THE AGENDA:. There's usually a presentation of some sorts 9usually involving a canned Power Point presentation, someone reading along from the prepared script - then there DISCUSSION on the agenda item. Every single one of the six items can involved hours to see the history and background and to understand what is going on .. .
Why the time may 'be ripe' for some of the actions to be taken - or delayed or more work needed - get involved.
________________________________________________________________________. .
FOUR ITEMS CAN IMPACT YOU:
> Hear a presentation, discuss, and provide direction on
a proposed sales tax initiative for public safety > Is that an INCREASE? ( or hidden 'adjustments ' in fees/charges?)

Squeeky-Clean Bob Worsley Doing Sneaky Stuff?
The Mantra: Build it and they will come
________________________________________________________________________
Arizona Senate approves vehicle fees bill
". . . .Something is sneaky about that. "Don't kid yourselves, . . . This is a tax increase - one said Sen. Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert that should require a two-thirds vote, . . "
". . . Legislative budget analysts say the amount ADOT would need to raise is $148.9 million. And that translates out to $18.06 for every vehicle, above and beyond the normal registration fee.
The measure, which now goes to the governor, also will mean a sharp hike in the minimal fee now imposed on those who purchase alternate fuel vehicles. Beginning in 2020, the levy will be based on the price of the vehicle, just as it is now for cars and trucks powered by fossil fuels. . . .
Worsley said he presumes Gov. Doug Ducey will sign the measure as the governor had made a similar proposal several years earlier, albeit with a fee in the $7 to $8 range

Roberts: Arizona leaders preparing end run on voters to save their school voucher law
" . . . Republicans at the State Capitol are quietly talking about a plan to repeal the universal voucher program they passed last year -- the one 100,000 citizens signed petitions to block and put on the November ballot -- and replacing it with a new universal voucher program.
Sen. Bob Worsley, R-Mesa, who brokered the deal that allowed universal vouchers to pass last year, is apparently spearheading the sneak attack on your constitutional right to referendum.
According to the Republic report, Worsley is talking to Gov. DougDucey’s office, other legislators and “outside groups”, which is code for the dark-money interests who spent big bucks getting Ducey and Republican legislators elected.

The ones who want to expand Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (read: vouchers) to every child in the state. Or at least, the ones who can afford to supplement an ESA with thousands of dollars more in order to cover private school tuition . . .
The Republic’s Yvonne Wingett Sanchez and Rob O’Dell are reporting that talks are underway on how to best do an end run around our constitutional right to veto laws our leaders have imposed
This, in order to block voters from having the final say in November on whether we want to send hundreds of millions of dollars more to private schools at a time when public schools are woefully underfunded. . . "

" . . Two Republican state lawmakers, Sen. Gail Griffin of Hereford and Rep. Rusty Bowers of Mesa, have led the deregulation effort. . .
PINAL COUNTY: Plans for at least 15 developments, with tens of thousands of new homes, are in limbo after the state warned builders last year that there might not be enough groundwater to support the rooftops.
Under state law, developers cannot build subdivisions in some areas of the state, including the Pinal County area and Phoenix and Tucson areas, unless they can prove they have an 100-year water supply.
The state is recalculating its Pinal projections, citing concerns that the modeling might be too conservative. But it’s unclear how much water that could free up for homes. Everyone concedes there are more water rights on paper than there is water stored underground in Pinal County
