A tax watchdog group has come out in support of Proposition 100, the sales-tax hike that goes before voters May 18. The Arizona Tax Research Association’s board, which consists of state businesses as well as individuals, voted to support the issue because the Legislature also has made “meaningful progress” on cutting state spending. Even if the three-year, one-cent-per-dollar hike passes, ATRA cautioned that further budget cuts will be needed to avoid the gimmicks lawmakers have relied on to balance the budget.
