So… signing flat-tax and tax limits for the wealthy into law (which give big tax cuts to rich donors) is not the only way AZ gov Ducey is kissing the hand that feeds him.
Effective Tax Cut Package Signed by Ducey in 2021
Also- Ducey’s employees are under investigation by the FBI for pressuring the AZ Dept of Revenue to quietly give a Ducey Donor a big tax cut win.
Read this sordid story of a revolving door from inside the Gov’s office to lobbyist/lawyers offices and punitive firings of honest AZ state employees in the AZ Dept. of Revenue for not buckling to pressure from their bosses in the Gov’s office:
The FBI's Public Corruption unit is investigating efforts by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey's past and current staffers – including one who is now a federal judge – to push for a closed-door deal to issue tax refunds worth as much as $100 million to aid one of Ducey's campaign supporters.
Grant Nulle, former deputy director at the Department of Revenue, said an FBI agent contacted him in mid-July, shortly after an Arizona Republic and USA TODAY investigation uncovered how the Ducey administration had pushed the department to agree to refund sales taxes on fuel for mining companies, even though that tax had been in place for decades.
The companies that stood to benefit were represented by Texas tax firm Ryan LLC, founded by Ducey supporter G. Brint Ryan. The top three deputies in Ducey's administration left their government jobs and went to work for Ryan to push for the tax refund.
...[Grant Nulle] who along with ex-Revenue Director Carlton Woodruff opposed the giveaway, succeeded when an appellate court ruled in their favor and opposed the tax refund claims. Ducey later fired both men.
