I, ____________, pledge to the taxpayers of the _____ District of the State of Arizona and to all the people of this state, that I will oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes.

 

That is the pledge that the state legislators below have signed.  And voting to refer a tax increase to the ballot would be breaking that pledge, which means it’s unlikely that a tax increase, even a temporary one, is going to the ballot.  Sen. Pamela Gorman is quoted in the Arizona Republic laying down the line when asked whether Senate Republicans were open to the talk of temporary tax increases: “Absolutely not.”
