MESA, Ariz. – Arizona House Republicans on Tuesday proposed a sweeping package of tax cuts aimed at helping businesses, with Speaker Kirk Adams saying the incentives are needed to spur economic development and add high-paying jobs in the state.

The package proposed for consideration in the legislative session that starts next Monday includes both corporate and individual income tax cuts and decreases in property taxes paid by businesses.

"Arizona is not as competitive as it needs to be with job retention and job growth," Adams said.

The Mesa Republican was flanked by a half-dozen fellow GOP representatives during a news conference held at the Boeing Co. helicopter plant in Adams' legislative district.

Some of the cuts would apply to all taxpayers, while others would go only to businesses that add jobs or participate in a revitalized work-training program. The overall cuts would be phased in over four or five years starting in 2012.

Arizona is weeks away from going under. Good luck on the tax cuts, you’ll need to cut a whole bunch of state workers and programs first.
