IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET MORE EXPENSIVE. THAT’S THE MESSAGE FROM RIO RANCHO MAYOR GREG HULL TO VOTERS WHO WILL DECIDE A NINE MILLION DOLLAR GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND QUESTION FOR ROAD REPAIR IN RIO RANCHO’S MUNICIPAL ELECTION ON TUESDAY.
THERE ARE TWO ROADS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. ONE IS HIGH RESORT BLVD. HE SAYS VOTERS REJECTED A BOND PACKAGE FOUR YEARS AGO, AND THE COST OF REPAIRS FOR HIGH RESORT HAS GONE FROM ABOUT 5-MILLION DOLLARS THEN TO 6-POINT-5 MILLION DOLLARS NOW. APPROVAL OF THE BOND PACKAGE WILL INCREASE PROPERTY TAXES BY ABOUT 15 DOLLARS ON A 200-THOUSAND DOLLAR HOME.
THE OTHER ROAD ON THE REPAIR RADAR IS SARA ROAD.
