SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Early voting is underway across New Mexico towns, including for education funding. If approved, ballot measures would renew property taxes to pay for school buildings, computers and air ventilation systems. Due to changes in the state funding formula, 100% of the property tax mill levies would stay in local school districts. In the past, the state took credit for 75% of the taxes, allowing it to send more money to other schools across the state. School districts are also getting $900 million in federal pandemic aid this year. Early voting is underway, and the final Election Day is Nov. 2.
