Arizona Proposition 100

I got my early ballot for Arizona's Proposition 100 today.  This proposition proposes to increase Arizona's state sales tax by 1 cent per dollar for a 3 year period to help fund primary and secondary education, health and human services and public safety.   While I'm not a big fan of tax increases, given the state of the local economy and given the dire consequences should this proposition fail I am hesitantly endorsing a YES vote.  I'm more than willing to do my part to be part of the solution.
