A Washington style denunciation argues that county tax rises under Tom S. Hubbell are the result of a 1905 law levying a 3 mill tax to cover county prisoner feeding costs. It claims the levy funds Hubbell charges first, leaving taxpayers to bear the rest, while Albuquerque city officials are blamed for high taxes over the decade.
