To Tax or Not to Tax: a Forum on the Bernalillo County Quality of Life Initiative

From the League of Women Voters of Albuquerque/Bernalillo County:

You're invited to a forum to learn more about the Quality of Life gross receipts tax proposed by Bernalillo County on Saturday, October 14, at 9:00 AM, at the Courtyards at Cutler Clubhouse, at 2403 San Mateo NE. There will be coffee and refreshments at 9:00 AM, and the forum will start at 9:30 AM.

On November 7, voters will be asked to approve the Quality of Life Gross Receipts Tax. Proceeds from this tax would be dedicated to cultural programs and activities. It has been the subject of much community debate.

Please join us for the first installment in LWV/ABC's new Voter Education Series, where the pros and cons of this tax will be discussed.

JUDY ANDERSON, member of the Quality of Life Campaign's Executive Committee, will speak in favor of the tax with "The Quality of Life Initiative 2006."

QUENTIN CHANDLER, Vice President of Business Advocacy and Government Relations at the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, will speak on the other side of the issue. His presentation is entitled "If We Support the Quality of Life Initiative, Let's Get It Right."

Editor's Note: Thanks to Michelle Meaders for the heads up on this.
