Please urge Arizona lawmakers and Governor Hobbs to negotiate a budget that includes a significant cap on universal ESA voucher growth. Failing to cap the growth of this off-the-rails program harms the future of public education in our state, props up state-funded hate via discriminatory schooling, and threatens to bankrupt our state.
USE RTS FOR THE FOLLOWING:
- NO on SB1720 and HB2810. We MUST do something about wasteful, unaccountable universal ESA vouchers this year, as Hobbs promised she would. Otherwise, this budget does not deserve our support.
- YES on SB1726 and HB2816. Expanding KidsCare to serve our state’s most vulnerable children is desperately needed and has been a priority for many years.
- YES on SB1728 and HB2818. Arizona badly needs these investments in the Housing Trust Fund and homelessness services.
- NO on SB1729 and HB2819. Lawmakers are on the right track with extra funding for District Additional Assistance, the poverty weight, and the elimination of “results-based funding” and “freedom school” programs. But we MUST do something about wasteful, unaccountable universal ESA vouchers, this year. Without that provision, this budget does not deserve our support.
- NO on SB1734 and HB2824. Say in your comments you oppose the individual income tax rebate. If lawmakers must spend money on this, ask them to remove the requirement that recipients owe a liability, because the rebate should go to people who need it most.
- YES on HCR2050. We must waive the AEL school spending cap; a one-year waiver keeps it from becoming a political football this year.
