A legal challenge to the Clean Energy for a Healthy Arizona ballot initiative has high-profile backing from two East Valley mayors.
Mesa Mayor John Giles and Gilbert Mayor Jenn Daniels both signed on as plaintiffs on the lawsuit that challenges the ballot initiative, although they won’t discuss their reasons.
The challenge comes from Arizonans for Affordable Energy, a group funded by APS parent company Pinnacle West.
If passed by voters, the measure would require some Arizona electricity providers to pull at least 50 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
