What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Goldwater Institute sponsored propositions in Arizona that seek to restrict DEI practices and ban vehicle mileage taxes. Proposition 141 specifically aims to prevent government entities from imposing taxes or fees based on the number of miles a person travels in a motor vehicle. These propositions were sent to voters to bypass the veto power of Governor Katie Hobbs.
