'Better than 50% Chance' Newly Passed Bill Leads To Lawsuit Against State By Cities

Cities and towns in Arizona would be required to ask their voters to increase sales taxes only in November of even-numbered years, under a bill approved by state lawmakers in the waning hours of the legislative session.
