Mexico council backs 1% sales tax to fund services
In a series of council responses, City of Mexico officials argue a 1 percent city sales tax is the fairest method to maintain ongoing services and fund capital improvements. They cite budget strain since 1967 at the current levy, the need to replace expensive equipment, and federal funding cuts. Tax funds would be allocated to streets, parks, public safety, human services, and contingencies, with emphasis on payroll and equipment. The proposal aims to avoid large increases in individual fees for refuse collection and sewer services. A vote is urged for Tuesday, June 7.
