STATEMENT BY JOHN MUNGER ON THE LEGISLATURE’S REFERRAL OF GOVERNOR JAN BREWER’S SALES TAX INCREASE PROPOSAL
(PHOENIX, AZ) February 4, 2010 – Republican Gubernatorial candidate John Munger released the following statement today:
"Ignoring the basic laws of economics, the Arizona legislature has referred Governor Brewer’s sales tax increase to the May ballot in a misguided effort to solve our state’s fiscal problems. Fortunately, the voters will have a chance to stop this madness from becoming reality."
"Raising taxes will kill thousands of jobs at a time when we need the most. Another tax increase will also help ensure that Arizona remains one of the least competitive places to do business. Instead, with real leadership, we could be using this crisis to reset our budgetary priorities, restart our economic engine and reduce our government to one we can afford."
