Proposition 100 Meeting March 31 in Sedona

Letter to the Editor: DEAR EDUCATION SUPPORTERS:  Our schools need our help – URGENTLY! Passage of Prop. 100 – the 1-cent temporary sales tax – is critical to the health of our schools – and public services.

Please take advantage of an important meeting in Sedona to learn more about the importance of the passage of Proposition 100 and how you can be involved to assure the successful passage of this important temporary sales tax!

WHEN: WEDNESDAY MARCH 31 AT 6 P.M.

WHERE: WEST SEDONA SCHOOL, MULTIPURPOSE ROOM

ADDRESS: 570 Posse Ground Road Sedona, Arizona 86336

Times are very difficult for our schools. A YES vote on the temporary 1-cent sales tax will not fix all the budget woes; cuts are going to be required no matter what. But voting YES will prevent cuts at a level that would be devastating to our elementary, middle and high schools. We believe a penny increase in sales tax is a short-term financial sacrifice for folks like you and me. But it will protect what you and I value in the long-term – education and our public schools.

Early ballots will be mailed on April 22 and the election is May 18th – so there’s no time to lose!

Please share this information with others you think may be interested in joining this effort!

Facts about Arizona’s May 18 sales tax ballot measure (Proposition 100):

The temporary sales tax would be one percent or one cent per dollar.

It would be in effect for three years, from June 1, 2010, to May 31, 2013.

The sales tax is expected to generate $2.9 billion in revenues over three years.

Two-thirds of that sales tax revenue – or $1.9 billion – would go to K-12 public education.

The sales tax does not solve the state’s deficit, but is a critically important part of the solution.

Without these revenues, devastating cuts to Arizona public education funding will be necessary, resulting in long-term negative consequences to our students and schools.
