Today in Sierra County, New Mexico residents will vote on a one-quarter cent raise in sales tax that would help fund Spaceport America. If the county votes for the tax, then a tax district will be created. The district would also include Doña Ana County, which approved a similar sales tax increase last year. The creation of the tax district is a requirement under state law for the funds collected to be spent. A full report and analysis can be found at Space Politics.
