Arizona lawmakers pass bill that weakens Prop 208

Proposition 208 was passed last year by voters to boost funding for public schools. Author: Joe Dana Updated: 7:12 PM MST June 29, 2021 PHOENIX The Arizona State Legislature passed Senate Bill 1783 on Tuesday, promoting it as a tool to help small businesses be more profitable. But the bill has another consequence. It will reduce the amount of money collected for schools through Proposition 208. The bill’s sponsor, Senator J.D. Mesnard (R), said the bill “allows us to create separate structures, separate rates and ensure we help small businesses as much as possible” through a new tax category. Mesnard said he has been assured that Gov. Doug Ducey will sign the bill into law.

Which special-interest groups donated to Salem-Keizer candidates?

Zone 5 candidate Jesse Lippold Peone s campaign account did not show any campaign finance filings when this story originally published but was updated shortly after. This story has been updated online to reflect those changes. The Salem-Keizer Public Schools governing board is historically a nonpartisan entity. But candidates in the May 18 election are getting money from notably political sources.  Eleven candidates are running for four open board seats: West Salem s Zone 1, south-central Salem s Zone 3, east Salem s Zone 5 and north Salem s Zone 7. While the elected leaders will represent specific zones, residents vote for candidates across the district. Kari Zohner (Zone 1), Linda Farrington (Zone 3), Mike Slagle (Zone 5) and Liam Collins (Zone 7) have been endorsed by more politically conservative groups and political action committees, such as Protect Kids, Oregon Right to Life and Marion+Polk First.
