The piece argues that a 2 year old state law forcing cities to impose impact fees is poorly conceived and potentially unconstitutional. It warns the fees burden developers, curb retail and industrial growth, cost money, and may push business away to counties without fees. It urges the Rio Rancho City Council to challenge counsel, delay action, and avoid letting Santa Fe control growth.
