<h2>Maricopa County Voters: Don’t Forget to Support Prop 479<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">As you know, the NFB of Arizona is non-partisan and believes that all blind people who can should be able to vote privately and independently. However, as mentioned in 2023 as a resolution, the Maricopa County half-cent sales tax is
set to expire in Jan 2025. If voters do not approve of extending that sales tax, transportation funding, including for paratransit and ride-choice will be cut dramatically. Please support Prop 479!<o:p></o:p></p>
