With the start of the new fiscal year less than eight hours away, Gov. Doug Ducey signed the $12.8 billion budget shortly after lawmakers sent him the final two budget bills to his desk.

“Today I’m proud to sign a budget that delivers for Arizonans,” Ducey said in a press statement. “Each and every Arizona taxpayer, no matter their income, will experience a tax cut under our historic tax reform. That means job creators will continue to choose our state to expand operations, working families will get to decide how they spend more of their hard-earned dollars, and those who served our nation will rightfully keep more of their own money.”

The highlight of the fiscal year 2022 budget is a massive income tax cut that replaces Arizona’s progressive income tax rates with two rates — 2.55% for people who earn $27,272 annually and 2.98% for those who earn more than that — at a projected cost of about $1 billion in state revenue annually . . .

Day of Rage: An In-Depth Look at How a Mob Stormed the Capitol

By nytimes.com

 

 

". . .Our reconstruction shows the Capitol riot for what it was, a violent assault encouraged by the president on a seat of democracy that he vowed to protect. We’ll chart how police leaders failed to heed warnings of an impending attack, putting rank-and-file officers in danger. We’ll track key instigators in the mob taking advantage of weaknesses in the Capitol’s defenses to ignite a wave of violence that engulfed the building. We’ll show, for the first time, the many simultaneous points of attack, and the eight breaches of what appeared to be an impenetrable institution of government. We’ll show how the delay to secure Congress likely cost a rioter her life. And how for some, storming the Capitol was part of the plan, all along . . ."
