Why New Mexicans Should Support a Waterway Fee
Ailed by Subsidies to Barge Owners, New Mexico bills seek a waterway users charge. The bill S 790 would end 100 percent taxpayer subsidies to the barge industry, lowering costs for rail and road shippers and shifting burdens onto waterborne transport. Supporters argue it would reduce consumer prices and promote fair competition, while opponents fear higher shipping costs without subsidies.
