Small Business Comment on Today’s Prop. 208 Ruling

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Chad Heinrich, Arizona State Director, ch@chadheinrich.com or Tony Malandra, Senior Media Manager, anthony.malandra@nfib.org PHOENIX, March 11, 2022—From Chad Heinrich, Arizona state director for the National Federation of Independent Business, the America’s largest small-business association, on today’s Arizona Superior Court ruling Proposition 208 unconstitutional. “Arizona small business owners applaud today’s long-awaited Arizona Superior Court decision declaring Proposition 208 unconstitutional following the review it was instructed to undertake by the Arizona Supreme Court. Moving forward, Arizona’s small business owners have one less worry. Now that this ill-conceived idea that was forwarded by out-of-state actors is finally dead, small business owners can focus on growing Arizona’s economy, creating jobs and caring for their employees without fear of this soul-crushing tax. “We look forward to Arizona’s policymakers now focusing on policies that grow Arizona’s economy and enable Arizona entrepreneurs to realize success. In 2021, small businesses contributed 72% of the net new jobs created in this state. Without Prop 208, small businesses will be more apt to hire new employees and grow their businesses in 2022 and for years to come.” Keep up with the latest on Arizona small business news at www.nfib.com/arizona or by following NFIB on Twitter @NFIB_AZ ### For 78 years, NFIB has been advocating on behalf of America’s small and independent business owners, both in Washington, D.C., and in all 50 state capitals.
