Although they say they don’t want to trample the will of voters, Mesa, Scottsdale and other city officials are filing suit over the just-approved ballot proposition banning additional taxes on services.
Claiming the Prop 126’s language is ambiguous language, an unknown number of municipalities are banding together to seek a declaratory judgement that would define what constitutes a service and what can and can‘t be taxed.
The city councils in Mesa and Scottsdale in separate meetings last week voted to join the suit.
