County Buys Building for $2.7 M Bernalillo County New Mexico residents received a tax increase last night from County Commissioners. Good Morning! As I have stated I am so against tax increases, tax and spend. Instead of digging deep into issues, the Politicians way to balance a budget is to raise taxes. How much more can the people of New Mexico and Bernalillo County handle? Our economy is in the dumps, highest unemployment in America, extreme poverty.
