Last update: 10 hours agoSchool Funding Vote: Agua Fria voters will decide Nov. 3 whether to keep a 15% property-tax override (Prop. 438) that funds salaries, safety, AP, arts and more, expected to raise about $12.2M a year; a no vote wouldn’t instantly cut money, but the override would step down after FY2027-28.

Police Records Fix: Phoenix approved a plan to cut a roughly 40,000-request police records backlog within about a year by adding staff and raising some commercial fees while keeping most electronic records free for non-commercial requesters. Native Candidates Surge: A record number of Native Americans are running in 2026 midterms, with at least 355 Indigenous candidates across races nationwide. Sports (Arizona): Arizona crushed Cincinnati 34-7 in the Big 12 home opener; Baylor routed ASU 55-19 in Tempe.
