Taos County officials admit financial strain and approve a resolution to transfer $50,000 temporarily from the lodgers tax fund to the general fund. The move aims to cover October bills as property tax collections lag, with repayment planned once revenues come in. PILT funds were exhausted earlier than expected. County Clerk Carmen Medina notes taxes typically begin in November.
