Taxes

Nancy believes that Arizona’s entire tax structure must be examined for fairness and stability. Our current budget crisis in Arizona can be traced to too much dependency on sales tax and on a lack of diversification in our economy. These factors make us highly vulnerable to economic downturns. We must learn from our past fiscal mistakes and craft a common-sense budget that is better suited to withstand economic downturns. In addition, utilities and mines have received property tax breaks over the years which have shifted the tax burden to homeowners. She supports impact fees for the costs of new infrastructure such as roads, sewers, parks and schools to lessen the tax bill to existing residents.
