Initiative thrown out for lack of signatures
Measure seeks to allow state to sell land to local governments at market value
Arizona Secretary of State Jan Brewer last Friday disqualified Proposition 103 — the “Conserving Arizona’s Water and Land Initiative” — from appearing on the Nov. 4 ballot.
Proponents of the measure seek to reform the Arizona State Land Department and how its holdings are managed and sold.
According to the state constitution, the land department has to put lands up for sale at public auction.
