Roswell bond plan aims to fund flood recovery with GRT uplift
Ezzell says the gross receipts tax increase could last up to 20 years but likely ends when bonds are paid. The proposal follows last year’s record flooding that killed two and caused millions in damage to Roswell institutions, with bonds funding local share to unlock FEMA aid. Senate leaders praise the bill’s broad application for flood‑ravaged NM towns and its emergency clause making it effective immediately. The measure also advances NMMI capital outlay funding to upgrade dormitories and classrooms through state funding.
