Little Hope For Reduction In State Tax Levy
Santa Fe March 14 AP Despite a larger appropriation bill for the 11th NM legislature the property tax to fund the biennium is projected at 4 190 520 dollars a far smaller share than the overall bill. The rest comes from licenses leases and other income. A constitutional amendment would cap the levy at 20 mills triggering a possible special session and leaving higher taxed areas short of budgets. New taxes are seen bringing in 171 000 with 100 000 from oil severance 41 000 from the chain store tax and 30 000 from income tax. The rest are minor.
