Appellate court justices met at the Arizona Supreme Court for the hearing Thursday Oct.17 (Hailey Rein/DD)
The Arizona Supreme Court met to hear Karen Fann v. State of Arizona on Tuesday, regarding the constitutionality of Proposition 208, a ballot initiative passed in the 2020 General Election.
Prop. 208 is a ballot measure that increases the highest income tax rate in the state of Arizona by 3.5%, and intends to put the revenue toward state education.
Invest in Education, a key proponent of Prop. 208 campaign, estimated that hundreds of billions of dollars could be raised for K-12 education in Arizona if the initiative passed.
