Santa Fe County voters will head to the polls Tuesday to decide whether to raise their gross receipts tax rate by a fraction of a cent to raise just over $2 million annually for what the county says will enhance behavioral health services and more public safety positions. Although the passage of the one-sixteenth-cent tax increase would further elevate the city and county’s gross receipts tax rates — which some feel will put more of a strain on low-income people and municipal governments — the county special election has been drastically less contentious than the city of Santa Fe’s ballot question earlier this year.
