Public Policy 2011

In 2011, the Alliance favors a balanced approach to fiscal policy for the state of Arizona which, 1) provides adequate support for public programs which are widely supported by Arizona citizens, 2) supports education, quality of life and public infrastructure which are necessary for the long term economic growth and health of the state of Arizona; and 3) avoids undue hardships on the most vulnerable residents of the state to achieve budget balance.
