JTED Approved; Goes to Voters in November   The State Education Board has unanimously approved plans for a Joint Techonology Education District in western Yavapai County.  The Chamber supports the proposal.  Voters will now be asked to approved a very modest property tax increase ($5 per $100,000 of assessed valuation) in November. 

Employer Sanctions Law Clarified   The Legislature has passed, and the Governor has signed, a bill that clears up some of the questions from last year's employer sanction bill.  Businesses must use the E-Verify system only for employees hired after Jan. 1, 2008.  Workplace complaints can be made anonymously, but complaints will not be investigated if they are based solely on race or color.
