The AZ Supreme Court gives its reasons for siding against the people of AZ

In my opinion, if I was a health care provider, I'd prescribe an Ex-Lax IV before they explode.

But since I'm not, I'll just say it -

I think they're full of shit.


From KPHO, from the Associated Press -

Arizona Supreme Court says voters can’t repeal tax cuts

The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that tax cuts or increases enacted by the Legislature can never be blocked by opponents using the state constitution’s referendum power, with the rare exception of a tax that funds a completely new state department.

The written opinion released Friday explains the reasoning behind the court’s April 21 decision reinstating a massive income tax cut enacted by the Republican-controlled Legislature last year and signed by GOP Gov. Doug Ducey. The court reversed a lower court decision that said the tax cuts could be referred to the ballot because they did not appropriate money.


The full opinion is here.

While the AZ Supreme Court may have ruled against the people of Arizona, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled differently when the Republicans in the state legislature sued the people of Arizona  Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission.  


From that opinion -
