Temporary 1¢ Tax Increase Factual Information
Governor Jan Brewer has proposed a temporary sales tax increase to help close current budget shortfalls. This measure will be on the May 18 special election ballot. The House approved a Senate-passed resolution to refer the one-cent, three-year sales tax increase to voters. The one cent sales tax increase measure would increase the current rate of 5.6 percent to 6.6 percent for three years and raise an estimated $2.9 billion to help close Arizona's budget deficit.

Census Forms Arriving Mid-March – Be Counted!
The U.S. Census Bureau is mailing census forms to all residents in mid-March. Residents will have until Mid-April to complete and return the form. Completing the form is easy, safe and important!Easy - The 2010 Census has only 10 Questions. Information about everyone who lives at a residence should be included on the completed Census form.
Safe - Per Title 13 of the United States Code, the U.S. Census Bureau is not allowed to share an individual's response with anyone, including other federal agencies or law enforcement entities.
Important - Census data determines boundaries for state and local legislative and congressional districts. Also, Census data determines how $400 billion in federal funding (for schools, roads, senior centers and libraries - to name a few examples) is allocated to communities. Every person is worth an average of $1000 to their community in federal funding if they are counted in the Census.
