Gina and Tom take a closer look at Proposition 316, a statewide measure on the Nov. 3 ballot concerning local taxes on groceries.
The conversation explains how grocery taxes are structured across Arizona communities and why some cities and towns rely more heavily on this revenue than others. Plus, the discussion gets into how reductions in revenue could affect municipal budgeting and services, from roads to senior programs.
The episode also breaks down how this proposition would affect a community’s existing grocery taxes, when voter approval would be required and what voters may want to learn about their own city or town before casting their ballot on Prop. 316.
