The latest from Carlsbad, NM

RGF president Paul Gessing had the opportunity to  speak to the Republican Women’s Club of Carlsbad. He also had a chance to sit down with Mayor Dan Janway and his staff and did an interview with Johnny Chandler of KCCC 930AM for a discussion of the latest issues facing Southeast New Mexico.

Among numerous topics of discussion and local issues facing Carlsbad and the State, we discussed ways in which the Legislature might address revenue loss by local cities impacted by prospective gross receipts tax reform which RGF strongly supports. This is a challenging issue that needs go be considered in GRT reform debates.

It was also great to catch up with Reps. Cathrynn Brown and Jimmy Mason, both of whom capably represent the Carlsbad region.
