Arizona voters said “no” in the Nov. 8 general election to adding to the sales tax to support fire districts.
In addition, Legislative District 28 voters went with familiar names and faces to represent them in state government.
The Arizona Legislature referred a measure to the Nov. 8 general election ballot after an initiative petition failed to gather enough signatures. Proposition 310 would have established a one-tenth of a cent sales tax on purchases, on top of local and regional sales taxes. Funds generated from that tax, for 20 years beginning after Dec. 31 this year, would have been distributed to fire districts throughout the state to help them overcome a funding crunch.
