A shadowy group called Americans for Responsible Leadership is spending $750,000 to fight a proposal to raise the sales tax in Arizona by 1% to fund education.
The group claims it favors accountability and “transparency,” but refuses to disclose who is putting up the money to fight Proposition 204, which would make permanent a currently temporary sales tax.
Prop 204 would provide stable funding of education in the state, which is badly needed.
If you live in Arizona, please go to the polls to protect your schools.

Done! I’ve been educating everyone who will listen to me on the importance of this proposition… as a teacher in AZ we desperately need this!

Note that this same group, with its undisclosed donors, recently dumped $11 million into the No on Prop 30 campaign in California. Prop 30 is Gov. Jerry Brown’s measure to raise taxes on individuals making over $250,000 and couples making over $500,000, and to increase sales tax by 0.25%.
If Prop 30 fails, K-12 and higher education will face devastating, already-budgeted cuts approaching $6 billion. Please vote YES on Prop 30 if you live in California.
