Alert: Las Cruces Tax Hike Proposed
The Las Cruces City Council will be meeting today, Monday, June 10, at 1 pm to discuss plans for a proposed tax hike. This proposal is in response to the phase out of the Hold Harmless Agreement with the state when tax was removed from most food items. The phase out does not begin for three years and will take place gradually over a 15 year period. The long time frame was to allow cities and municipalities time to replace this revenue. It was not intended that taxes should be raised immediately - if ever! These government entities should be looking at economic development - not taking more of your hard-earned money.
