Oppose Senate Bill 206 sponsored by Senator John Arthur Smith. Senate Bill 238, also sponsored by Senator John Arthur Smith is a voucher in disguise. This terrible measure would cost the treasury of New Mexico at least $10,000,000 and allow this money to flow directly into private and religious schools. The measure would provide a $500 tax credit to anyone who makes a donation to an organization that provides private school scholarships! Senate Bill 541 cannot be seen as anything other than a crass attack on public school and higher education employees' paychecks. This bill sponsored by Senator Sue Beffort-Wilson simply makes you pay more of your salary in educational retirement withholdings. It would raise withholdings to 8.6% by full implementation in 2008, .7% more than current law. Follow this link to Send an Email to Ask Your Senator to Oppose Senate Bills 206, 238, and 541.
