43,000 JOBS LOST! STOP RAIDING THE HURF!

Politicians in the Arizona legislature have raided $1.5 billion dedicated for highway, road construction, and other infrastructure need. They have put Arizona drivers and their families' safety at risk while costing our state over 43000 jobs.


The VOTER APPROVED Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) should be used for it's original purpose so Arizona has a good transportation system needed for future economic growth. We must stop the politicians in Arizona Legislature from raiding these funds. That is one reasons We Build Arizona was created. Our goal is simple - To protect and grow state and local infratstructure funding.

Supervisors tell legislature to stop taking road funds

APACHE COUNTY – With the state sweeping millions of dollars from the Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) and Vehicle License Taxes (VLT) for this year, combined with similar sweeps in previous years, and all the other money swept from county and municipal governments, rural communities are saying they won’t be able to maintain roads let alone do any new projects.

Saying enough is enough, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution at the Nov, 1 meeting that spells out how they feel. The supervisors’ resolution “….urges the Arizona Legislature to discontinue sweeps of HURF distributions to Apache County and other White Mountain communities and to restore HURF funding to pre-sweep levels within a reasonable period of time.” (Source:  White Mountain Independent)
