"Voters chose to make their neighborhoods safer and hold city governments more accountable, ensure we have the infrastructure to maintain our position as an economic leader, and to protect the jobs created by one of the state’s leading industries."

Congratulations to Arizona Supreme Court Justices Clint Bolick and Kathryn Hackett King on overwhelmingly being retained by Arizona voters despite partisan attempts to remove them from the bench. The Chamber was pleased to support these fair-minded and independent jurists.

Chamber CEO Danny Seiden on passage of Proposition 312: “Arizona voters have sent a clear message: Government, do your job. They do not want our state to become the next San Francisco or Los Angeles. The passage of Proposition 312 is a win for property owners, businesses, and everyday Arizonans who too often shoulder the costs of an unaddressed homelessness crisis. This new law gives property owners a tool to hold local cities accountable, ensuring that public safety is made a priority and creating safer communities that support businesses, residents, and our economy.”
