State Banks At Any Cut Now In Inventory Taxes
Advocates for lowering the inventory levy pressed the case before the state tax commission in Phoenix.

The delegation, representing 9,000 firms and 40,000 workers, argued a tax cut would keep more stock on hand and deter new industry from entering Arizona.
