Arizona Tax Revolt Needs Your Help---To Help You
If anyone has the time, this might be a good way of helping all Az tax payers. The following is a plea from Marc Goldstone, Chairman, Az Tax Revolt

*************************************************************************************
We all want property tax relief, but it is not going to happen without YOUR help. We need more volunteers to commit their time gathering signatures at the Arizona Tax Revolt booth in the Pima County Fair, which runs from Thursday April 17th through Sunday April 27th. We can lose the booth if we don’t have a person there at all times. Please do your share and don’t expect that someone else will do it. There is no one else except us. There are still shifts available for all days except Thursday April 17th. The fair organizers expect that between 250,000-275,000 people will attend the event, so you can see how important it would be for us to maximize our opportunity there.
If you are willing to help, please contact either Victor or Marcia at 520-744-4211 or by e-mail at vjong44@gmail.com
Victor and Marcia have the sign up sheet, and can tell you specifically which shifts are available. If you can not help out at the fair, keep gathering signatures at other venues. Thank you.

Initiative Drive To Conserve 570,000 Acres Of State Land
The April 12 Az Star has an article that notes the Nature Conservancy group is hoping to put an initiative on the Nov 2008 ballot that would ask voters to put more than 570,000 acres of state trust land permanently off-limits for development.
There is less than three months to gather the 230,047 signatures on petitions to qualify for the ballot.
The impetus of this initiative was a result of the home builders wanting specific provisions to bar cities from imposing new "impact fees" on new developments to buy the land for conservation.
Thousands of acres that would be preserved are in Pima County, including some in Catalina State Park & Tortolita Mountain Park.
