PHOENIX (AP) — Massive income tax cuts passed by the Arizona Legislature earlier this year and a series of election law changes could be put on hold until voters weigh in next year. A coalition of education advocates believe they have gathered enough signatures to put at least one and possibly three new tax cut laws on hold. They were double-checking petition sheets in advance of turning them in to the Arizona secretary of state’s office by the Tuesday deadline. Meanwhile, a group opposed to three new election laws were also going through their petition sheets, although they were less certain they had collected enough signatures.
