Horizon Eight (PBS) looks at Prop. 116 which raises the personal property tax exemption on newly-acquired business equipment and machinery. The measure has no organized opposition. Farrell Quinlan, Arizona State Director for the National Federation of Independent Business, explains Prop 116, a constitutional amendment that was referred to the ballot by state lawmakers.
