Taxes taxes in Arizona ....

this is just a quick note about 2 tax things that happened this past week:

--Governor Brewer has been asking since last January, when she took over for Janet Napolitano who resigned to be part of Obama government, for a public vote on a 1 % sales tax.

--Divided Phoenix City Council voted to put a 2% tax on food in the city. It's supposed to expire in 5 years. Public hearings are scheduled for the next month or so for the public to react to the proposed budget, including the food sales tax. I remember when we did away with the tax on food in the early 1980s. So far have we retreated? the city was very flush with money in the early 1980s, I was still working for them then and we got very generous raises.
peace for now,
