You must be directing this at me since I'm the only AZ resident on the board, to my knowledge.

I did vote Harris, and already mailed the ballot back.

Most of the other stuff you said isn't correct. While we may be cheaper than CA, we aren't cheap. And we are a home to Big Tech also (often called "Silicon Desert"). Though, yes, we do take more federal dollars than most states. In part because we have low taxes due to tax cuts for the rich. Also, many corporations pay near-zero taxes, even as we are booming (Intel has built, and is building, some monster fabs in south Chandler; housing has been crazy for a while, and very little of it is "low income housing"). At least CA is sensible in that they realize you need taxes to pay for stuff. It's very difficult to raise taxes here, which is why a lot of communities have to issue bonds instead.

If I was motivated, I could probably hunt this down: Does the federal dollars coming into AZ include our various federal facilities? We have a lot of international border, we have two air force bases, and I have no idea how many missile silos. Also, do dollars funneled to reservations count? We have a LOT of native reservations (in terms of quantity, and percent of state land).

Yes, as you may have predicted, I also voted for protecting abortion in the state constitution, and I decided to swing in favor of the ranked voting proposition. I voted against the proposition that would allow paying food service workers less than minimum.
