Proposition 105, "Majority Rules"

Reporting: 100.0 %

An In Focus Report: The so-called “Majority Rules” measure on the November ballot that would require a majority of registered voters, rather than a majority of those who actually vote, to pass a ballot initiative raising taxes. Christopher Conover reports.

Proposition 200, "Payday Loan Reform Act"

Reporting: 100.0 %

Arizona's Proposition 200, the Payday Loan Reform Act, promises to be one of the most contentious ballot initiatives this political season. The payday loan industry is funding efforts to pass Prop 200 in Arizona, and to date has spent upwards of $2 million to secure the business-as-usual measure. Opposition to the so called "reform" act has coalesced into a vocal force, albeit a comparatively underfunded one. Members of the "No on 200" coalition are a diverse group, and include individuals with personal accounts of how their lives have been affected by the quick-fix allure of the small cash loan. Luis Carrion reports.

Proposition 201, "Homeowners' Bill of Rights"

Reporting: 100.0 %

Christopher Conover walks us through two housing measures which will appear on the November Ballot. Proposition 100 which would create a constitutional amendment barring the state and local governments from assessing a fee whenever a property trades hands. Proposition 201 would give home buyers a right to pursue lawsuits over defects for 10 years, among other things.

Reporting: 100.0 %

Proposition 300 asks voters to approve a raise for state lawmakers. A "yes" vote would increase salaries from $24,000 a year to $30,000. A "no" vote would leave salaries at the $24,000 level.

Proposition 403, "TUSD Override"

Reporting: 100.0 %
