The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Thursday that voters do not have the right to reject the income tax cut. When the tax cut is fully in place, it will hit nearly $2 billion and mainly benefit the wealthy. The lower court judge who ruled in favor of the education advocates was overturned by the high court. The lawyers for the Arizona Free Enterprise Club argued that the state constitution does not allow referrals for measures that provide for the support and maintenance of state government. After hearing arguments in the case, the Supreme Court agreed in a brief order. The order signed by the Chief Justice does not explain the reasoning of the court. The lower court judge said that the constitutional provision only blocked referendums on bills that appropriate money, and since the tax cut bill does not do that, it is subject to voter review. The expansion of the court that was pushed for by Ducey allowed him to appoint six of the seven justices. It couldn't have come at a better time for Arizona's taxpayers, he said in a statement. Most residents will not see much help because most of the tax cuts go to the wealthy. The average Arizonan will save $231 a year in state income taxes if they earn between $75,000 and $100,000. According to the Legislature's budget analysts, the average taxpayer earning between $500,000 and $1 million a year will save more than $12,000. The coalition of progressive groups that backed the referendum slammed the Supreme Court for stripping the rights of everyday Arizonans in an attempt to protect the rich. The ballot was Arizona's last line of defense from the Supreme Court, according to a statement from two groups. The Arizona Center for Economic Progress and the Children's Action Alliance said voters have supported measures that boosted school funding, child care and other progressive causes, only to have them blocked by the high court or erased by the Legislature. The tax on the wealthy was scrapped by the Supreme Court after voters approved it in 2020. Lawmakers passed a law last year that would have cut funding by more than half. The Supreme Court ruling was a big win for taxpayers.
