Stop the War on New Mexico’s Children

It’s Time to Stop the War on New Mexico’s Children: As the last days of the 2016 Legislative Session unfold, our elected officials need to be reminded that responsible withdrawals from the State Land Grant Permanent Fund (LGPF) are necessary to provide for our children’s education in perpetuity. To increase withdrawal rates and risk our children’s future is irresponsible and would jeopardize the fund. NM already has two “permanent” funds, Tobacco and Severance Tax, which are either dead or dying because of over depletion. We don’t need to use the LGPF that saves taxpayers approximately $814/year per household in taxes as yet another example of how to kill a fund.

Reminder: CNM Early Voting Underway

The business community has become laser-focused on New Mexico’s educational system because it is producing what we hope will be our future workforce. But the CNM tax increase in the current special election will do nothing to address that need.
