Governor urges immediate passage of over $200 million middle-class tax cut
Summary
The governor asked lawmakers to pass a middle-class tax-cut package he said would deliver more than $200 million in tax relief to families, raising the standard deduction and cutting taxes on overtime and tips.
The governor urged the legislature to pass a middle-class tax-cut package and send it to his desk immediately so families would receive relief when they file taxes this spring. "Put the middle class tax cut package on my desk immediately. I'll sign it," he said.
He described the package as more than $200 million in relief that would raise the standard deduction used by 88% of Arizona filers, cut taxes on overtime and tips, and provide relief to seniors. The governor framed the proposal as a near-term measure to increase take-home pay and ease cost pressures on families.
The call is a direct request to legislators to act quickly; specifics of the package, bill numbers, or statutory language were not provided in the address and will need to be drafted and voted on by the legislature.
