SANTA FE RESIDENTS GET A CHANCE TO SOUND OFF TO THE CITY COUNCIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON A PLAN TO RAISE THE CITY’S GASOLINE TAX TO HELP PAY FOR ROAD REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS. THE PRICE TAG ON THE ROAD WORK COMES TO AN ESTIMATED 237 MILLION DOLLARS. THE TAX INCREASE OULD BE TWO CENTS A GALLON.
SOME RESIDENTS SAY THERE ARE A LOT OF POT HOLES THAT NEED TO BE FIXED. OTHERS SAY THEY’D PREFER NOT TO BE TAXED. AND MAYOR JAVIER GONZALES DOESN’T LIKE THE IDEA OF TAXING THE CITY’S WORKING CITIZENS. VOTERS WOULD HAVE FINAL SAY ON THE PROPOSAL,
THE MEETING IS IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND STARTS AT 6:30PM.
