Taos Pueblo Says It Cannot Pay Full Gaming Fees
Taos Pueblo mailed a 4516.31 check to the New Mexico state treasurer on January 28 with a letter stating the tribe has no revenue left for the quarter. The 1997 gaming compact required 168850.88 in regulatory and revenue sharing fees from Taos Mountain Casino, 52 150 and 116 700 88 respectively. Gov Ruben Romero and War Chief Vincent Lujan Sr said the tribe cannot pay the full amount due to fluctuating tourism income and profits being largely taxed by the state. They noted the casino relies on tourism and the balance after the payment left their bank account at zero.
