PHOENIX - There were five propositions on the Arizona ballot that dealt with state employee pension plans, tax changes, renewable energy, school funding and campaign financing.
DECISION 2018: ELECTION DAY RECAP
By Wednesday morning, all of the propositions had been decided, according to AP.
Approved
- Prop 125
- Prop 126
- Prop 306
Failed
- Prop 127
- Prop 305
So what does all of that mean for Arizona?
Proposition 125 will change the state constitution to allow the Arizona State Legislature to adjust pension plans for corrections officers and elected officials.
Proposition 126 will forbid any new or increased tax on services that did not exist at the end of 2017.
Proposition 127 would have required utility companies, like APS, to get 50 percent of their energy from renewable energy sources, such a solar, by 2030, regardless of the cost to consumers.
Proposition 305 was a veto referendum challenging Senate Bill 1431. That means the people who got it on the ballot wanted the "no" vote before SB 1431 went into effect. They got it.
Proposition 306 will prohibit candidates from using their public financing accounts to give funds to political parties or tax-exempt 501(a) organizations that influence elections. The "yes" vote makes the Citizens Clean Elections Commission get approval from an outside council, the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council, before making its rules. That council is made up of members appointed by the governor.
