What you're describing is an artifact of the current political structure of the Phoenix area. When the shit hits the fan (which it might, and it might not) that political structure is going to be amended.

I don't think that moving water from CA is a part of the future for Arizona. If it was, then sure, taxes will play a role in that.

Even the solution I prefer - massively reducing agricultural water usage - will require money, but money is not going to create water near Phoenix IMO.
