No Guts Heidel Attacks New Mexico Tax Commission
Lovington Rep Finis Heidel blasts the State Tax Commission over ad valorem tax problems and lax standards. He cites two court decisions urging uniform assessments and accuses the Commission of inaction, dictatorial power, and failed supervision of county assessors. Heidel recalls 1966 impeachment calls and notes Lea County as unusually honest in aiming for full market value. He predicts independent appraisers may expose low values elsewhere.

Officials estimate current exemptions save about $3 million annually. 66,642 certificates exist with 46,000 on real property. A 1966 $90 million in untaxed property could be taxed under the new rules, with further effects from a uniform assessment ratio ruling.
