Human Rights in the Border Region

Anastasio's mother goes to D.C.

The new tax measure would increase the income tax on those earning over $500,000 by 1% and those earning over $1 million by 3% for seven years. It would also add a quarter-cent to the state sales tax for four years. The revenue generated from the measure would go a long way to closing the state budget gap and would raise $7-9 billion for education and essential social services.
