Who Voted for Higher Taxes?
Good like finding House votes on New Mexico’s legislative website. They’re not posted there and are never made available on the site, even in a historical fashion for past sessions. That’s one of the reasons the Rio Grande Foundation created NewMexicoVotes.org. We wanted average citizens and voters to know how their legislators were voting.
Yesterday afternoon, the New Mexico House voted for one of the largest tax hikes in New Mexico history, HB 346 which would increase New Mexico’s onerous gross receipts tax by 3/4ths of a cent. The final vote is available here. Remember your Rep’s votes come Election Day and be sure to tell your Senator what you think lest we wind up with an economy-killing tax hike on individuals and businesses.
