Arizona has fallen from the nation’s ranks of most competitive economic outlooks after voters enacted a new income bracket to better fund public schools.
The Copper State ranks 13th for economic outlook in the U.S in the American Legislative Exchange Council Center for State Fiscal Reform s 2021 Rich States, Poor States competitive index. The state ranked 10th last year.
Judged by more than a dozen metrics, Arizona received low marks on its sales tax, minimum wage and top marginal income rate.
Voters approved Prop. 208 last fall. It created an additional 3.5% income tax on single filers with marginal income over $250,000 and joint filers making more than $500,000. The money is used to increase teacher pay, retention and other public school-related spending.

In 2006, just two years after leaving the Green Party to join the Democratic Party, when she considered herself the most liberal legislator in the state of Arizona and proudly boasted that she was a former socialist, Kyrsten Sinema showed up to a march against former Sheriff Joe Arpaio at 6 a.m.
Walking 20 miles with two dozen day laborers, others wilted under the Arizona sun. But Sinema, who would go on to protest the so-called Show Me Your Papers SB 1070 law in 2010, kept marching.
