NM lawmakers warn finance board over tax district

A bipartisan group of legislative leaders is warning the state Board of Finance that they don’t have authority to create a new tax district on Albuquerque’s West Side. That power they say, belongs to the legislature. The city of Albuquerque had already voted it's own tax district for the Lower Petroglyphs, with plans to bring desperately needed jobs to the West side in the form of a new hospital.
