Legal bickering continues over how to describe Arizona education sales tax initiative

Backers of a proposed permanent one-cent hike in state sales taxes asked the state Supreme Court Wednesday to reject how Secretary of State Ken Bennett proposes to describe their measure on the ballot.

But Barton could have an uphill fight.
