IF ENOUGH SIGNATURES ARE GATHERED, YOU COULD BE VOTING IN OCTOBER ON A TAX HIKE TO SUPPORT ALBUQUERQUE’S BIOPARK. A PETITION DRIVE IS NOW UNDERWAY FOR A ONE-EIGHTH OF A CENT INCREASE IN THE GROSS RECEIPTS TAX. CITY COUNCILOR TRUDY JONES TELLS 770 KKOB TAX HIKE PROPOSALS LIKE THIS SHOULD GO BEFORE VOTERS.
THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THAT ABOUT 14-THOUSAND SIGNATURES WOULD HAVE TO BE GATHERED IF THE MEASURE IS TO MAKE IT ON THE OCTOBER 6TH MUNICIPAL BALLOT. IT WOULD RAISE 17 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
