Lujan Grisham proposes $250 rebates amid New Mexico gas price increases
KRQE reports on Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's proposal for $250 rebates to New Mexico taxpayers to address rising inflation and gas prices, funded from oil revenue. The segment includes reactions from Sen. George Muñoz (D) calling rebates a temporary band-aid and House Republican Leader Gail Armstrong welcoming the idea but advocating permanent tax relief including elimination of the state income tax. The governor's office statement notes she discussed the idea with leaders but wants them to decide on a special session before her term ends. Muñoz references past special sessions on SNAP and supports tax reductions for lasting impact. The report draws on official statements and named legislators without graphics or additional experts.
