Mesa, Chandler voters approve home rule overrides
• East Valley TribuneThe home rule provision allows cities to spend more than a
state-imposed limit that would base budgets on 1980s spending
levels. The vote did not affect tax rates in either city. The home
rule provision only affects how much cities can spend, as cities
without home rule can only spend according to their 1980 budget
with some adjustment for population growth and inflation.
