SCHOOL ELECTIONS IN NEW MEXICO CAN NOW BE HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS…AND DON’T HAVE TO BE HELD SEPARATELY. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THAT’S THE RESULT OF A STATE SUPREME COURT RULING ON WEDNESDAY.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT DEALING WITH SCHOOL ELECTIONS WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE FAILED YEARS AGO. BUT THE HIGH COURT SAYS THE CHANGES ONLY NEEDED THE APPROVAL OF A MAJORITY OF VOTERS…NOT THE 75 PERCENT THAT WAS THOUGHT TO BE REQUIRED.
