Last week you read about the Supreme Court decision which held that taxpayers do not have standing to sue against government tax credits which fund religious education because tax credits do not count as government spending.

Today Governor Brewer signed HB 2384

One STO advertises that “[w]ith Arizona’s scholarship tax credit, you can send children to our community’s [religious] day schools and it won’t cost you a dime!” Another urges potential donors to “imagine giving [to charity] with someone else’s money. . . . Stop Imagining, thanks to Arizona tax laws you can!”

Your generous donation can be applied to the Arizona Working Poor Tax Credit. What this means to you is that in addition to a federal tax deduction, if you itemize your deductions and you contribute to Planned Parenthood in Arizona, you may be eligible for a dollar-for dollar state tax credit
