What about those ballot propositions we get to vote on this November?

Will Arizona voters kill the expansion of vouchers? Ban “dirty money” in politics? Set Arizona on a path to solar energy?

Will voters see increased taxes to fund education as “soaking the rich”? If so, is this OK?

Or would the Invest in Education initiative be seen as a partial fix to Arizona’s highly-regressive tax system?

Is there a “Blue Wave” election in our near future? Or will it be more of a “Blue Tsunami?”

Will the “Red for Ed” movement permanently change Arizona politics?

Noted Arizona attorney and all-around troublemaker Tom Ryan joins the Think Tank to discuss all this and more this week.

The Think Tank airs on KTAR News 92.3 FM on Sunday from 1 p.m.-2 p.m. and repeats 9 p.m.-10 p.m.

Podcasts are available after each show is broadcast.
