📢 FOUNTAIN HILLS DESERVES FACTS, NOT FEAR TACTICS. 📚
Lately, there’s been some misleading talk about a “huge tax hike.” Let’s clear up the confusion with the actual truth:
❌ This is NOT a new tax.
❌ This will NOT increase your current tax rate.
✅ This is a CONTINUATION of the exact same local funding we already have in place.
☕ Let’s put it in perspective:
For the average Fountain Hills home, keeping our schools stable costs about $78 a year. If a fancy latte with tax costs $6, that works out to exactly 13 lattes a year—or just one coffee a month to protect local classrooms, retain competitive teacher salaries, and safeguard our property values.
Don’t fall victim to the scare tactics and deceitful roadway signs by outside interests vested in harming our public schools and community.
Voting YES simply keeps our current funding stable. For an average Fountain Hills home, it works out to about $78 a year—the exact same amount you are already paying. Our schools are a community asset. Strong schools support families, attract residents, and sustain long-term property values.
What does a YES vote actually do?
• Keeps competitive salaries to protect and retain our great teachers.
• Maintains essential classroom programs and full-day kindergarten.
• Protects campus safety measures and student transportation.
Opponents claim we can just “wait until later” to pass this, but letting our school funding hit an unstable countdown is a gamble our kids and property values can’t afford. Rejecting the override means phasing that funding out—not making the consequences disappear.
Let’s focus on what actually matters: our students, our teachers, school safety, and the future of our community. For a modest annual cost, we can sustain our schools and invest in Fountain Hills’ future. Support our students. Support our teachers. Support our schools. VOTE YES on the override renewal. ✏️🍏
