How could the Invest in Education initiative impact your taxes and schools?

The Invest in Education Initiative Act is making a comeback and could be on your 2020 ballot this fall. 

The proposal looks similar to the 2018 initiative. It would increase taxes for high-income earners, including single filers earning more than $250,000 or married filers earning more than $500,000.

But the previous iteration was struck down by the Arizona Supreme Court in 2018 due to its lack of clarity. And the proposal is at odds with Gov. Doug Ducey's plan for education funding.

In this week's episode of The Gaggle: An Arizona politics podcast, hosts Yvonne Wingett Sanchez and Ronald J. Hansen break down the proposed initiative, including its history. Joining them on the episode is education reporter Lily Altavena, who weighs in on whether Arizona voters are likely to stomach a new tax.

In this episode you'll hear: 

• How this new ballot measure differs from the one in 2018 
• What Ducey's plans are for education funding 
• How we could see teacher salaries grow
