NO PROPERTY TAX HIKE IN BERNALILLO COUNTY. THE RESULTS ARE IN FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOL MAIL-IN BOND ELECTION AND ALL THREE MEASURES WERE REJECTED OVERWHELMINGLY BY ALBUQUERQUE VOTERS.
APS WANTED 900-MILLION DOLLARS OVER HALF A DOZEN YEARS. TWENTY-NINE PERCENT OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS IN BERNALILLO COUNTY RETURNED THEIR BALLOTS FOR THIS ELECTION … UP FROM THREE TO FIVE PERCENT IN RECENT APS ELECTIONS.
