Pinal County taxpayers could get a $300 check from the state.
The Senate Finance Committee voted 3-2 late Monday to divide up what’s left of an illegally imposed sales tax to residents of Pinal County. The measure, known formally as HB 2273, has already been approved by the House and now goes to the full Senate for a vote.
Rep. Teresa Martinez, the legislation’s creator, said the measure still falls a little short of satisfactory for her.
The Casa Grande Republican would instead prefer the $45 million to $50 million tax remainder to go for its intended purpose: road construction and improvement in the county.
