Tax proposals split over grocery gross receipts tax relief
The Senate Finance Committee weighs two bills to remove the gross receipts tax on groceries. Thompson proposes a $25 state income tax exemption for households, while Rogers favors direct tax credit at purchase. Both plans risk municipal funding, with Rogers causing larger revenue losses. The editorial favors Thompson over Rogers and notes a possible veto risk.

Smalley Leads Power Clash Amid Senate House Tensions
In Santa Fe Sen. I.M. Ike Smalley faces a turf war with Senate majority leader C.B. Trujillo over committee representation and funding. House Speaker Walter Martinez must win concessions or risk a full clash. The feud centers on Trujillo versus the Mama Lucy faction, with Smalley weighing a coalition with the Young Turks to regain influence. The piece also notes tensions after the Legislative Council Service clash and cites the Legislative Finance Committee's view that the $121 million surplus is largely nonrecurring and not suitable for permanent tax relief.
