Proposition 310, which aims to increase the stateâs sales tax by 0.1% to fund a "Fire District Safety Fund," is failing with only 48% voter approval, according to unofficial results updated Wednesday from the Arizona Secretary of Stateâs office.
The measure is still undecided as it is not known how many ballots were still left to count statewide.
The tax would last for 20 years and is said to help fire districts in rural communities fill gaps in service.
The Arizona State Treasurer would be required to distribute funds collected from the tax monthly.
