- Judge: GOP ballot measure aimed at teachers union unconstitutionally guts police, fire unions too
A judge removed a Republican ballot measure from Arizona's ballot, ruling it unconstitutionally broad by targeting all public sector unions, not just teachers' unions. The measure, House Concurrent Resolution 2040, was designed to disable the Arizona Education Association but was rejected for violating the Arizona Constitution's Separate Amendment Rule, which requires amendments to address a single topic.
