Arizona voters will be asked to cap what hospital executives can be paid because of a spat between a California-based union and hospital chains.
Petitions containing 281,087 signatures were submitted Thursday to the secretary of state’s office to limit the total compensation for any hospital executive, manager or administrator to no more than what the president of the United States is paid. That is currently $450,000 a year.
Only 150,642 need to be determined as valid to put the issue on the November ballot.
