Arizona voters knew when they passed Proposition 126 in November they didn’t want services to be taxed, but what they may end up with is a lawsuit.

Arizona voters sent a clear message to our elected representatives when they overwhelmingly passed Proposition 126. The will of the voters should be respected.

A proposal by a Southern Arizona lawmaker could make it easier for groups to propose their own state laws and constitutional amendments.

That record number of Arizonans who turned out to vote this year has a dark side for direct democracy: It's going to be harder for voters to propose their own laws or get rid of ones they don't like.

A $31 million campaign by the state's electric utilities proved enough to keep voters from adopting a constitutional mandate that they generate at least half of their power from renewable sources by 2030.

Our lawmakers need to have every tool available to them when planning for the future. We cannot afford to limit their ability to make choices related to critical funding for our state’s education system. Proposition 126 would do just that.

The state's largest electric company has now poured more than $30 million into its bid to convince Arizonans not to force it and other utilities to use more renewable resources.

Valuing the teaching profession is important to the citizens of Arizona as evidenced by numerous news reports and public opinion polls. In response, commitments have been appropriately made by the Legislature and governor to increase teacher pay. Ironically, Proposition 126 will negate a significant portion of their efforts to address the issue.

California billionaireTom Steyer has spent more than $18 million so far in his bid to convince Arizonans to support a constitutional mandate that half of all electricity come from renewable sources by 2030.

It seems a bit out of Alice in Wonderland. But if you support the goals of those who put Proposition 305 on the ballot -- opposition to expansion of vouchers -- you have to vote "no'' in November.
