Brewer is considered moderately conservative in Arizona. She signed the illegal immigration law, but would have had ZERO chance of remaining Gov if she had not. She also signed concealed carry without a permit - good, but she would have made a lot of enemies if she had not.
OTOH, she has been pushing for a temporary increase in the sales tax - from 5.6% (I think) to 6.6%. Naturally, the world will end and Arizona will blow up if we don’t pass it. Lots of us are less than thrilled - AZ has wildly increased spending over the last 5 years, and getting it back to 2005 levels shouldn’t be hard. Not for a conservative.
Just IMHO. I’m a bit odd, I guess. An Obamabot CIA Psyops agent who thinks Brewer is too liberal for Arizona, although I’d vote for her in the general election without hesitation.
And right now, sad to say, it looks like the increase will pass by a 2:1 margin. I was afraid of this. Since it is a special election, the ONLY thing on the ballot for most of us was Prop 100 - and the unions HAD to vote for it, since it is their bail-out. Many in the general populace that might have voted no were not motivated enough to turn out for a single issue election.
But I’m already forking out $4000 in property taxes, and sure don’t see a reason why our wild spending schools need more of my money.
