Transparency Should Be More Than A Campaign Promise: The New Mexico Business Coalition (NMBC) believes in holding elected officials accountable. It doesn't matter what party they come from, promises made on the campaign trail should be kept. President Obama promised transparency as a candidate but he continues to make policy behind closed doors. He is excluding the public and the businesses affected, working secretly to determine what he thinks is best for America. If it's what is best, why the secrecy and exclusion of others?

Local Decisions Are Best for New Mexico. The New Mexico Business Coalition (NMBC) works to improve the economy and quality of life for all New Mexicans. We believe the federal government has its role, but most decisions affecting New Mexico should be made by New Mexicans. Some elected officials step aside, forget about doing what is right as long as the federal dollars keep adding up. Others, like NM Representative Yvette Herrell understand that local decisions are best.

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.
