The Arizona Guardian is reporting that budget talks are in the works again at the capitol. The Republican legislative leaders have been meeting in small, secretive groups to rally support behind a new plan to solve the budget: lower income taxes.
Yeah. Lower taxes to increase revenue. Up is down.
They are also talking about TABOR-style government again. Please see this video for what a debacle that would be.
The Democratic members have not been reportedly involved in any meaningful budget negotiations. They are generally brought in to a later meeting and told what the budget proposal will be and ask if they can agree to it.
It is becoming increasingly clear that when Governor Brewer, Senator Burns, and many of the other Republican leaders say "bipartisan" then really mean "Republican."
