Wilkins advocates moratoriums to boost local business appeal
In tough times, Wilkins argues that savings on impact fees lure developers who might otherwise build in Albuquerque or Santa Fe. He says moratoriums, lower prices and rents create jobs and payroll taxes, while addressing a $5.6 million lawsuit as unproven. The goal is to raise recurring gross receipts revenue toward 70 percent, benefiting residents with lower property taxes and more amenities.
