Arizona Voters To Decide On Sales Tax Hike

by Daniel Kraker, Arizona Public Radio

Arizonans go to the polls to vote on a temporary one cent sales tax increase Tuesday. Prop 100 is an attempt to help plug the state's budget deficit. Few people want to raise taxes. But if the vote fails, hundreds of millions of dollars will be cut from the state's universities and public schools and from health and welfare programs.
