NM is a weird outlier state. Poor, but very progressive. You guys now have that free childcare. Crazy. Where I live childcare costs 4000-2500 a month. Highest childcare costs in the nation.
We don’t do free stuff here the northeast. Even our public schools now have usage fees for extracurricular activities like sports or music. My nephew runs track… and has to pay $300 per semester just to be on the team. Baseball/football is 2-3x that.
NM. Just bring in proof of residency, like a utility bill, and boom. Free library card.

Wanna know what’s really crazy? We pay for that (and free community college too!) by, drumroll please:
Taxing The Oil And Gas Industry.
Totally crazy, i know.
not every state has an oil and gas industry to tax.
