Larry Hawke said last week. Rep. Hawke, a Republican in Pima County's north-central District 13, that passage of the tax relief package would give Arizona "a complete tax reform package." "It's easy for one person to come up with one plan to fit his particular needs," he said. ''But in terms of getting collective views, this is a tremendous step forward in the areas of reform and control of governmental spending.'' Rep. Hawke said the key to the package lies in Propositions 106, 107, 108 and 109, which amend the constitution to assign limits on govern�ental spending and property value in­ sales tax on food charged by the state. Rep. Hawke said that sales taxes on food levied by cities are not affected by the state package. "This is the first time if ,·ou vote yes it isn ·t going to cost vou mone,· . .. Sen.JohnT. M�whinne/said of the 10propositions. ·Tm going to vote for all 10, .. he said. "It's the first bme ,n the n1story o[ the l'nited States that a legblature has taken such far-reaching steps to cuttaxes ...Although he is pleased with the tax package and said it was the best the legislature could work out this year . Sen. Mawhinney added that it is too com­plicated. "Th(• thing is a mess l)('caus(• our tax laws are a mess ... h(• explained. lit· said he does not agree that the repeal of the sales tax on food should be tied to tht· constitutional amen­dments. but it is not il'gislative blackmail. He favo rs the package Rep. Larry Hawke ��,_.. ·-�- , _1_1 :I, ,. ' � ( \ • ··�/,_, . .., . ., ... Sen. John Mawhin.ney hecause it only allows gov(•rnment to expand to ;1ccommodate inrtation and population growth. Of all' the proposals, Proposition 104 which adjusts bonding limits for government bodies is the most v_ulnerable, he added. "I I 104 is defeated it is heca use they ( voters l do not understand it," Sen. l\law hinney said. The package, put together after a five-month special session, would make Arizona the first state to adopt a tax reduction plan before being forced to do so by a tax­payer revolt like California's Proposition 13. •The 10 referendumquestions .are part of amassive legislativepackage which would takeeffect in June pendingpassage of the four keypropositions, Rep. Hawkesaid. Included in the tax reform package, he said, is a measure to eliminate the creases. "I would have to say that those items are the real guts of the package," he added. 105 lifts· highway tax funds Although the bulk of Proposition 105 is placing into the Constitution control language which has been in law, a part of it represents what might be a weakening of Proposition 101 of two years ago. That measure constitutionally limited state ap­propriations to 7 percent of •rt11e~ total personal incomeof Arizona.The new language will exclude increases in highway user revenues (licenses and fuel taxes) for highway purposes. This has been added because it is believed the limitation will not permit adequate. funding for highways. At the same time, other language ua s been strengthened.· The old limitations excluded funds raised by the state for cities and counties, primarily sales and income taxes. New wording will include those funds in the limitation applying to cities and counties. The first four June 3rd ballot issues, Propositions 100 through 103, deal with property tax exemptions for widows, widowers, vet­erans and permanently dis­abled. If all four pass, the result will be the same benefits for all with tax base exemptions varying ac­cording to the value of owned property and in­come limits will double. Further, Proposition 103 will make it possible in the future for the legislature to adjust the exemptions to offset erosions by inflation, the Arizona Tax Research Assn. says. The changes are propos­ed not only because of inflation's impact, but be-. cause other measures in the 10 will reduce assess­ment on homes_ from 15 percent to 10 percent of market value. Since the tax . base will be reduced by a third, the exemptions are • made smaller, in dollar amounts, than those in cur­rent law. In terms of actual value, however, the ex­emption under the new measures will be slightly greater. Under current law the maximum reduction is $2,000 and the proposed maximum would be $1,500. The changes will phase --out -the benefits as the wealth of recipients in­creases. In present law the recipients get all or nothing with an. automatic cut-off when the full cash value of property exceeds $33,334. The new ceiling on full cash value for benefits will be $50,000. Starting at a value of $35',000 the exemption will be $1,500, dropping to $250 on a $50,000 property. A problem could arise if the basic tax package is enacted (Propositions 106 through 109), but Propo­sition 100 is defeated. This would result in greatly in­creasing exemptions for low income widows and certain veterans. About 53 percent of the potential voters in Pima County are eligible to vote in Tuesday's statewide special election, according to County Recorder Joe Bedard. Mr. Bedard said that 184,180 registered voters are eligible to cast their ballots in the June 3 election.

Sunrise Drive; This is how county of­ficials will calculate taxes for cities, towns, counties and community colleges if the voters approve the 10 propostions on the June 3 ballot. 1.Using the 1979 assessedvalues, levies may grow 7 percent for primary tax purposes (general operating costs) in 1980 on existing property. New additions to the tax rolls will have the same tax rate applied to those values as were used to increase levies by 7 percent. 2.After the first yearlevies may increase only 2 percent on existing property. 3.If property has beenremoved from the tax rolls, then the yield of those properties will be deducted before new levies are set. 4.To make thesecalculations, county assessors will have to provide the boards of supervisors each year values on existing property minus property which was removed from the tax rolls. This loss • could occur because the property was bought by a non-taxpaying entity such as government, was burned or was town down. Those data will provide the base for determining new levy limits and a tax rate. Then the same tax rate will be applied to new property and that will establish the levy limit for the following year. 5.A second tax roll (thesecondary) will be presented to the super­visors and this will be used for setting tax rates for bonds, special districts and voter approved budget overrides. That roll will be unrestricted in growth and will track full market value according to assessment ratios. 6.Tax bills then will bethe total of the primary and secondary levies.

The food tax repeal will not appear on •the ballot, however, andthe four critical tax reformproposals are only part of10 proposals that will ap­pear on the ballot. The legislation that repeals the state sales tax on food and provides regulations for im­pl�menting the repeal beginning July 1, 1980, was· "conditionally enacted" and signed by the governor as part of the major ( 100 sections) special session tax reform package known as S.B. 1001. The con­ditional enactment refers specifically to the four . constitutional amendments that set spending limits on counties, cities, towns, schools aJ).d community colleges;-:-and set limits on an individual homeowner's taxes and growth in. assessed valuation. ·. If these four con-·stitutional amen�entsare approved by the voters,the repeal of the state salestax on food automaticallybecomes eff ec-t i vebeginning July 1, 1980; Thecity sales taxes will remainin effect. This means retail .merchants will either haved to charge two dif­ferent tax rates, one for food items and one for non­food items, or apply the average tax rates allowed in the nElw law. This average tax rate will be different for each. mer­chant since· it depends on the ratio of sales of food to non-food sales • in each store. A customer can separate food from non­food items and insist on the separate tax rates even if the average rate is used, however. .

I U.S.D.A. food stamps will be exempt from the food tax: State sales tax revenue is··. currently shared with· cities and counties. The repeal of the state sales tax on food will mean a loss of some of this shared revenue: The state will recompense the counties for this loss from other revenues, and cities will be partially . recompensed for the next four years. Assessor favors tax package County Assessor Paul Sullivan Friday announced his support of the 10 propo­sitions on the· ballot in the June .3 statE;wide special election. • . He said he· particularly supports Propositions 106, 107, 108 and 109 which set limits on property taxes and government spending. "These will really have a positive effect on the tax­payers," he said. "They are very reasonable•propo­sitions." Mr. Sullivan said that the proposals, while cutting property taxes would still give government "enough revenue to provi.de citizen services m'crfncal�tre� He also cited the•'S�Iigs that would accrue state­wide from passage of the four major propositions, because passage of the four. propositions would also . allow legislation to go into effect abolishing the state's sales tax on food. By LOREN BOGART Research Analyst Tax Research Assn. If the Constitutional amendments are approved by voters on June 3, the entire system of exceeding ·budgets for cities, towns and counties will change. In the past, counties, cities and towns were afforded the privilege of exceeding budgets and transfering funds through "emergency" hearings before the State Board of Tax Appeals (ARS 42-308). . Emergenc ies were defined as "epidemics, disease or Acts of God which result in damage or disaster to the works, roads, buildings or property -or which menace the lfe, health or property of any considerable number of persons or in event of any other emergency the results of which have not.been anticipated in the budget and which will .require making expenditures or incurring liabilities or expenses by reasons thereof during the current fiscal year" et seq. Challenges to the existence of legal "emergency" eligibility were often made since subsequent emergency requests frequently were anticpated at the time of budget preparation. Such challenges seldom hindered the granting of emergency authorizations: Under Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR) 1001, a par:t of the special session tdx package, the emergency hearing procedure is repealed and three ways are provi(led to exceed the constitutionally established limitation. They are:·· ( I l ·By 2 3 vote of the governing board for expenditure s directlv necessitated bv a natural or man-made disaster declared by the governor.

Jeffers, Heuisler back June 3rd propositio�s By PEGGY BARNES Tax reform advocate William Heuisler and District, 14 Rep. Arnold Jeffers disagreed Thursday on methods of tax relief, but both told the Pima County Republican Women's Club that they favor the tax • reform proposals to be placed before the voters June 3. While Mr. Heuisler said the 10-propostion package "did not go far enough," Rep. Jeffers urged voters to "pass the ent,ire plan," Of the 10 propositions on the baliot, Mr. Heuisler said he has the most dif­ficulty with Proposition 104, which would increase the basic debt , limit for municipal corpor ations and.special districts from 4 to 6 percent of the total assessed • valuation, and . increase voter-authorized . debt limits from 10 to 15 percent for coµnties _and school districts_ . The measure. would-also in­crease bonded indebtdness •·limits from 20 to 30 percentof assessed valuation in thecase of unified sch ooldistricts, and from 15 to 20 percent in the case of cities and towns. Mr. Heuisler said he opposed the measure . because it bases bonding limits on an area's market value. Defeat of the proposition "would do educators a favor," he said. "Schools can't con­tinue to rely on property taxes for funds." Mr. Heuisler suggested that the state has about $500 million in excess sales taxes. which could be distributed to schools. "I feel less sorry for schools bursting at the seams than for a retired couple· who �an no longer afford their home, he said .. "We can't pay for everything by mortgaging our homes.'' Rep. • Jeffers said that Propo_sition 104 is written in a misleading fashion on the ballot. "A yes vote maintains the status quo," he said, pointing out that other measures in the tax package create a one-third reduction of the total assessed valuation. Approval of the measure would only allow the districl'i to maintain their present bonding levels. Mr. Heuisler, a can­didate for the county . assessor's post, said that passa'ge of Proposition 13, an initiative measure which will be on the ballot in the November general election, would eliminate the county assessor's post ·because after baseproperty values are fixed,yearly adjustments couldbe handled by a computer. Re·p. Jeffers said Prop<;>sition 107, which sets a maximum property tax increase of 2 percent per •year, "is the. heart of thewhole system." However he said that all of 'the final four state propositions on the ballot must be passed. If they don't, "the entire plan goes down the tubes." He said that passage of Prop osition 107 will guarantee that tax rates wiJ; go down forever. Page 12, The Arizona Territorial, May 29, 1980 AT LAST! AN EFFECTIVE METHOD TO· . HELP YOU RETAIN THE.

On Sunday, .May 19, Jean and her daughter decided to attend an air show at Fairchild Air Force Base but when they got there the sky became so dark that it looked like a severe storm ·so they re�urned home. In late afternoon, the�· heard the news of the eruption of the volcano atl\lount St.• Helens, to which they didn't pay much· at­tention. By 3:30 p.m. it was ';ke midnight and very erde outside and by evening, a gr: y ash like flour was settling on the ground. For three days everyone was told not to go outside, all the businesses ·in the city were closed, and no one wasallowed to come into the city unless it was an emergency. All modes of transportation were closed including cabs, which i1 the�, did dri·•e, got the mQtors clogged. By Wednesday, people wea1 ;ng masks tried to wash clown their sidewalks and stree;s and ended up cloging the sewers. The city sent out trucks of sawdust to spray on the ashes, then trucks would pick up the debris. Jean brought home a sack of the ash as a souvenir of the most unusual experience. She received a call from her daughter telling her that the fireman have issued war­nings that anyone not wearing a mask outside or not trying to clean the ash from their property will be cited. lteports of the effects of breathing the ash are con­tradictory and no one seems to know how to handle the situation. � l\lrs.
