Supporters of a proposal to raise taxes on wealthy Arizonans to boost school funding will formally kick off a signature-gathering effort Monday after filing revised ballot language.
The “Invest in Education Act” initiative was refiled late last week after what proponents say are relative minor changes prompted by a Legislative Council review.
The measure is backed by Arizona's largest teacher’s union and other groups.
Backers need to collect nearly 238,000 valid signatures by July 2 to put the question on the November ballot.
Republican Governor Doug Ducey has vowed no new taxes on his watch.
