BREAKING: Arizona Supreme Court Accepts GOP/Goldwater Institute's Challenge Of Successful #InvestInEd Proposition

BREAKING: The Arizona Supreme Court is using its discretion to immediately accept the appeal of the 

@GoldwaterInst's challenge of the Prop. 208 #InvestInEd tax surcharge to fund education.

Perhaps confusing it with the other Proposition that was passed, the Supreme Court has set oral arguments for 4/20.

Judge Hannah's decision was appealed to the Court of Appeals. However, the plaintiffs/appellants asked the Supreme Court to exercise its discretion to skip that intermediate step.

“Today’s order shows that the Supreme Court understands how important these constitutional challenges are,” said the Goldwater Institute's Timothy Sandefur (Vice President for Litigation) . “Rather than having the case go through the slower procedures for appeals, the Court announced that it will hear the case right away.”
