Gov. DB is doing his masters' bidding

Can I say Koch whore?

Ducey sends warning to CEOs pondering a school tax

Gov. Doug Ducey has a message for the state's business leaders should they dare to exercise their constitutional right to try to cross him and boost funding for public education.

<snip>

Ducey was speaking last week to the joint leadership of three of the state's most prominent business groups: Greater Phoenix Leadership, the Flagstaff Forty and the Southern Arizona Leadership Council.

The groups, I'm told, are considering an initiative in 2016, asking voters to approve a 1-cent sales tax to boost funding for public education.

These are people who understand that a well-educated workforce is key to boosting Arizona's economy, people who see current lack of commitment to public education as a drag on Arizona's image and its future prosperity.

Let the little people fund public schools, with their purchases at WalMart and the Dollar stores, instead.

Sales taxes always fall off too much in recessions, and hit the poorest the hardest.

Some cities in Az. are over 9% already.

I can't wait for them to start complaining. One of my husbands nephews is afraid of talking to him because I ask him uncomfortable questions who can't answer. And my mother in law is a proud liberal 85 year old and she calls him douchey. (This woman doesn't like to use bad words and she added the f word in her description of him recently)
