A LITTLE HELP FOR SANTA FE’S PROPOSED SODA TAX. FORMER NEW YORK CITY MAYOR AND BILLIONAIRE MICHAEL BLOOMBERG RECENTLY CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN 800-THOUSAND DOLLARS TO PROMOTE THE TAX PROPOSED BY SANTA FE MAYOR JAVIER GONZALES. AND CHANNEL 13 REPORTS HE’S ALSO FORKED OUT JUST OVER 400-THOUSAND DOLLARS IN ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR ADVERTISING, RESEARCH AND CONSULTING.
THE FATE OF THE SODA TAX WILL BE DECIDED BY SANTA FE VOTERS ON MAY 2ND. IF APPROVED, REVENUE FROM THE TAX WILL FUND EXPANSION OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION.
