Proposition 300 not receiving much attention
By Wally EdgeThere are numerous propositions on Arizona's ballot this November getting plenty of attention. One that is not receiving much attention is Proposition 300.
Proposition 300 would give lawmakers a long overdue pay-raise from $24,000 to $30,000. If passed, the pay increase would be the first raise lawmakers have received in a decade.
Since 1998 voters have had the chance to increase lawmakers pay four time and all four times the measure was defeated. The increase may be a hard sell for lawmakers this year as the Arizona budget once again faces a deficit in a lagging economy.

Quote of the Day
"One of the few areas where Governor Napolitano and I have agreed is that Washington has not done its job when it comes to securing our borders and protecting our nation. Now the governor will get the opportunity to either fix a bad situation or become part of the problem. I honestly wish her well.” -- State Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen

Initiative Confusion
Prop 300 is not the only initiative that is not getting ink.
Prop 201 -- the big government initiative, is being swept under the rug.
The initiative is an open door for trial lawyers and government and an assault on the free market.
Take a look at this video.

This initiative has got special interests written all over it.
