Combs in Pinal County. There is no organized opposition to the measure. Also Tuesday, voters in the Phoenix Union district, which had elected all governing-board members at large, will elect four board members from subdistricts as the result of a March settlement of a voting-rights lawsuit.

The federal suit, filed by a group of minority residents, claimed that minorities were poorly represented on the school board under the district's at-large voting system. Minorities make up about half of the students in the 220-square-mile Phoenix district. The settlement also expands the board to seven from five seats and allows two board members to be elected at-large. Voters in Subdistrict 1 will elect a board member to a two-year term, and voters in Subdistricts 2, 3 and 4 each will elect a board member to a four-year term. In 1992, voters in Subdistricts 1 and 5 each will elect a board member to a two-year term, and the entire district will elect two at-large candidates for four-year terms.

This year's candidates are: Subdistrict 1, Joe Eddie Lopez; District 2, Mary Fuentes Carr and Sandra Kennedy; District 3, Kimball Arnold; District 4, Gary Peter Klahr: POWER TO RETAIN OR DEFEAT JUDGE ON THE The Maricopa County Bar Association (MCBA) has endorsed 31 of the 35 Judges standing for retention in the thr'SlDi T5 enem" 's. based on the results of a Judicial Evaluation cEESd joMfc by hS CUnty Asscation State Bar of Arizona in conjunction with ASU's Research -f larfyers statewid- They rate judges before whom they have practiced In retained ottto tha courtroom, and give their opinions whether each judge should be mifnflrfdwth.a!.V0,er8 "2ain iudsLes wn0 eamed 80 or more Psitive responses and oppose those who -6 lake yJe whose evaluations fall in between.

School-board seats are up in all 55 of Maricopa County's school districts, a Voters in 10 east Valley school districts are being asked to approve creation of the state's first vo-tech high-school district.

The law enabling school districts to band together to create such units was approved by the Legislature this year. It passed both houses unanimously. Keith Crandell, principal of Mesa Vo-Tech High School, said that because most districts cannot afford to purchase the expensive equipment needed in vocational classes, many don't offer such classes or pay high tuition for students to attend classes in other districts. "A vo-tech district is as close to a win-win situation as you can get," he said. "It's not a burden on anyone.

Employers gain, students gain, districts gain and taxpayers gain." The state law. limits the property-tax levy on vo-tech districts to a maximum of 3 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. On a house with a market value of $100,000, the tax would cost about $2.50 a year. The 10 districts that want to. form the vo-tech unit are Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Redistricting KDISTWCTWG, from page 22 Ross, the political newcomer, said he believes Arizonans are dissatisfied with incumbent legislators.

"I'm amazed at the number of initiatives on the ballot, including six amendments to the constitution," he said. That gives me the impression people are not too satisfied with what has been going on." Redistricting has the candidates concerned. "I don't believe redistricting is going to pit Republicans against Democrats," Arzberger said. "It's going to pit rural areas against metropolitan areas." Vukcevich commented, "If we're not redistricted, we will be represented by Pima County. We have problems unique to this area, like water problems which should not be addressed by people who do not know what's going on down here." Ross said that economic development in rural areas is crucial in District 8, and that rural representation in the Legislature should be maintained to encourage such development.

Tax and budget reform are on all three candidates' lists of issues. "Incumbents felt good about the tax bill of the last session," Ross said, to in a on bill 1986 1988 1990 Q1 AAB 97 99 g8 94 90 o7x, 97 BALLOT RECOMMENDED I I I or NO POSITION Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Opposed Recommended Recommended No position Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended No position Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended No position Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended CXP OUT NOW I I SUPREME COURT Stanley G.

"We have to give people their money's worth for what they're paying." Arzberger called the tax bill "a step the right direction," but added that more revision of the tax code is needed, including elimination of more tax breaks for businesses. Vukcevich suggested that the Legislature should plan the budget to cover five-year period. "We're going to have to get some older hands that know what's going with taxes," he said. "Right now, the young kids make the budget out and present it to the Legislature." Arzberger wants the 10 largest state agencies to be audited every other year.

"Even if we have to hire outside auditors, it will be the best money we could spend," he said. All three candidates oppose the transfer of water from rural to metropolitan areas. Arzberger said a to prohibit transfer of water to cities from rural water basins will be introduced in the next legislative session. Vukcevich said water should not be moved from rural to metro areas "unless it's essentially an emergency."
