SANTA FEANS WHO DIDN’T VOTE EARLY ARE GETTING THEIR LAST CHANCE TUESDAY TO DECIDE IF THEIR MAYOR’S PROPOSED SODA TAX HIKE WILL BECOME LAW. KOB TV REPORTS A RECORD NUMBER OF VOTERS … ABOUT 7-THOUSAND-800 … VOTED EARLY ON THE TAX HIKE. IF IT’S APPROVED, THE REVENUE FROM THE TAX WOULD HELP PAY FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION.
FEELINGS ARE STRONG AMONG BOTH OPPONENTS AND SUPPORTERS … WITH NO MIDDLE GROUND. THE WAY IT WOULD WORK, THE TAX WOULD BE APPLIED TO DISTRIBUTORS WHO COULD PASS SOME OR ALL OF THE COST ON TO CONSUMERS.
THERE ARE 18 VOTING SITES OPEN FROM 7AM TO 7PM TUESDAY.
