Attention New Mexico Legislators:
We, the undersigned, have had enough of your tax and spend policies! We respectfully request that you stop the excessive money grab from every source you can find while growing government to unrecognizable limits.
This is the second year in a row that the state has been blessed with a budget surplus from the oil and gas industry. In 2019, despite a $1 billion surplus, you increased taxes and grew government to an unsustainable level. No other state has EVER increased taxes when they had a budget surplus. This includes the surplus under New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson who provided rebates to tax payers.
But this year, not only will you again NOT return some of our hard-earned money, many of you are looking to raise taxes again.
We’ve had enough! We ask the following: 1) Do NOT increase taxes and again take more of our hard-earned money; 2) We have to balance our household and business budgets and we ask you to do the same – using the resources you currently have available; 3) Stop expanding government to unsustainable levels that will be unmanageable with the next downturn in the energy business.

Seriously? Another increase? Get it together Santa Fe.
My family is already struggling to pay for groceries. Keep your hands out of our pockets.
UNBELIEVABLE. We have a surplus and they still want more? greedy politicians need to learn how to manage a budget just like the rest of us.
If we had to run our businesses this way we would be bankrupt in a month. Stop acting like the taxpayers are a bottomless piggy bank.
Sick of the tax hikes. Fix the spending first.

Enough is enough. Stop spending money we dont have and leave our hard earned paychecks alone for once.
