Personally, I'm voting no on every legislatively referred constitutional amendment and state statute.

LRCA 133-138 and LRSS 311-315

Many of the legislative ballot referrals are bills that Hobbs vetoed.

Among the worst: Prop 134, cuts into our ability to get citizen initiatives on the ballot by requiring signatures from all 30 legislative districts. Prop 137 gives justices and judges lifetime tenure and takes away our ability to vote on retention. We know how that has worked out on the SCOTUS.

Harrumph. You wrote today " assessors who decide how much you owe" which his factually incorrect. As the re-elected Pinal County Assessor, our job is strictly locating, classifying and valuing property.

County taxing authorities decide the "how much" question by setting the tax rate for their authority.

It is a common misconception but, needs to be corrected.

Hey, Douglas. I might've accidentally squeezed the accuracy out of that phrase when I was stringing together the paragraph. It'd be more accurate to say something like "how much your house is worth." I'll fix it.

Right-it is confusing -a teeter totter equation-Limited Property value is the taxable value-Example: 100K LPV then multiply by 10% or 10K-then multiply the the series of rates set annually by each taxing authority to get a total bill sent out by the County Treasurer
