BTW: You're invited to an Arizona Public Media one-hour special on the sales-tax initiative at the UA Stevie Eller Dance Studio on Sunday, April 11. Arizona Illustrated anchor Bill Buckmaster will be moderating the forum and Linda Valdez and your humble Range correspondent will be asking a few questions of panelists to be named later. Details after the jump.
