Overview
- Proposition 409 would finance a new 200-bed psychiatric hospital, rebuild outpatient clinics, add an outpatient surgery center, and expand Valleywise’s main hospital.
- Valleywise estimates the tax impact at about 11 cents per $100 of assessed limited property value, or roughly $29 a year for an average county homeowner.
- The hospital bond has bipartisan support from prominent figures and groups, including Doug Ducey, Jan Brewer, Kris Mayes, the Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona, and the Arizona Fraternal Order of Police.
- Mesa’s District 2 recall asks voters whether to remove Councilmember Julie Spilsbury, who faces challenger Dorean Taylor.
- Local ballots also include city bonds in Chandler ($475 million), Avondale ($123 million) and Glendale ($65 million), plus more than $1.5 billion in school bonds and multiple district overrides, with site finders at my.arizona.vote and locations.maricopa.vote.
