Home rule reaffirmed by New Mexico Municipal League
The New Mexico Municipal League urges full home rule fiscal powers for cities in its 1976 legislative package. It seeks authority for municipalities to levy additional gross receipts or sales taxes in three increments of 0.25 percent each, first available Dec 1 1976 with tax start July 1 1977. The plan envisions phasing out state general fund support for larger cities while maintaining aid to smaller communities to keep them viable as living options.
