""Arizona's constitution recognizes the extraordinary sacrifices our disabled veterans have made to our country and state. However, a defect in the language of Arizona's constitution caused a federal court to prohibit county assessors from accepting veterans' property tax exemptions. Proposition 130 allows Arizona to do right by our veterans. A ""YES"" vote will allow our disabled veterans to claim residential property tax exemptions."" - Eddie Cook, Maricopa County Assessor, in support of Proposition 130 (Learn more)
"[The Arizona Tax Research Association] supports Proposition 130 because it restores the tax benefit provided to Arizona's disabled veterans that was struck down by the courts due to unconstitutional residency requirements. The exemption is provided to honorably discharged veterans and the amount of the exemption is based on the percentage of the veteran's service or nonservice connected disability as rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Furthermore, ATRA believes it is good tax policy to move these modest property tax exemptions for veterans, widows and widowers, and business personal property into state statute in order to provide our State Legislature the flexibility to react when circumstances change." - Kevin J. McCarthy, ATRA President, in support of Proposition 130 (Learn more)
