Phoenix may consider ban on housing voucher discrimination to aid renters

Phoenix is waiting to see if Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes reverses a decision by her predecessor that issued a non-binding ruling saying Tucson’s source of income ordinance is unconstitutional. If so, the city plans to pass a similar ordinance, stripping property owners of the right to choose to whom they rent. Cities face losing a big chunk of their general fund if they aren’t in compliance with the state, but there’s a decent chance that Mayes, a Democrat, will remove that threat.
