The highway is already built. The voters of Phoenix voted decades ago to pay the sales tax to build it. Right now, it's mostly a road to nowhere which is why TSMC needs a new interchange.
This isn't even a new tax. It's a tax that has been in place for 40 years and has paid for pretty much every freeway mile and light rail track in the area. The tax expires in 2025 and this is a debate over renewing it. If it fails, Phoenix will be Los Angeles with "rush hour" lasting all day in another 10 years.
