Voters will decide in November whether to pump $940 million into education by taxing Arizona’s highest earners and make the state the 11th in the nation to legalize recreational marijuana, election officials said on Friday.

The two measures cleared all legal challenges and met signature requirements to be placed on the Nov. 3 ballot, said Katie Hobbs, Arizona’s secretary of state.

Money would go to teacher and support staff salaries, career and technical programs, mentoring and retainment programs for new teachers and scholarships at the Arizona Teacher’s Academy.

TX still dragging its feet. We want that last state spot light just to say “we were making sure it was safe”

BizNasty2point0’s fired up

Wait - there’s a tax that will fund recreational marijuana? *fills out voter registration card*

Great way to get Gen Z to vote!! Not to mention a windfall of moola for AZ

Yep. Tax the heck out of it. The cartels don’t need state money...the stae does.

Hopefully it’s not being lied about what the tax is going to be used for like it was in Colorado. What they publicly said and advertised was not what was on the ballot.

Colorado did it. And they ended up with so much money that during the next year they fought over the extra surplus.

We'll see what happens. The last time we had recreational cannabis up for a vote disinformation and factions split the vote and caused it to fail.

Perfect

Decriminalization of All Federally Prohibited Narcotics, Taxed, Controlled, Freedom of Choice, Mexico will Pay for The Wall ! Ask me how. Thank you

I do not smoke that shit so I hope they tax the fuck out of it. It should also fund kids lunch.

We already voted on this and said no. We will again.

This is how you fund America.

one of those will take care of the other

Not even near the spectrum of that type of earnings, but 3.5% seems a bit unfair when you account for the tax bracket already. Should have been 1.5%.

TNValleyRebel Makes a lot of sense for a red state tho

A tax to FUND recreational marijuana or a tax on rec. marijuana to fund education?!

Is that a peanut butter sandwich? God I’m hungry!

Texas is going to be the last state for legalize recreational marijuana. I bet money on it

They obviously need education

Legalize it

Drug peddlers celebrating right now
