Education Funding and Legal Marijuana Initiatives

This week’s Think Tank features debates on the two statewide initiatives that the voters will fact this election.

Proposition 207 will legalize recreational marijuana for those over 21, impose a 16% tax on it’s sale and permit sentence reviews for those previously convicted of possession of small quantities of marijuana.

Former Arizona Senate Minority Leader Chad Campbell will speak in favor

Public relations professional Lisa James will speak against.

Proposition 208 will impose a 3.5% income surcharge but only on personal income exceeding $500,000 for couples (income over $250,000 for single filers). The proceeds will increase educational funding in the state.

Joe Thomas, Arizona Education Association is in favor.

Marty Shultz --longtime retired APS lobbyist is against.

The Think Tank airs on KTAR 92.3 FM on Saturday 3-4pm and Sundays from 9-10pm. Podcasts are available after broadcast at ktar.com
