Northern NM fire victims will be spared additional taxes

Brian Colón, managing partner at Singleton Schreiber in New Mexico and former state auditor, was recently featured in a Las Vegas Optic article, "Northern NM fire victims will be spared additional taxes" on March 7th, 2024. Colón expressed support for a tax package exempting fire victims of the Hermits Peak Calf Canyon Fire from additional taxes, emphasizing that those who hired lawyers for compensation claims would not face extra taxes, and that this approach is beneficial to victims who might otherwise bear the burden of these taxes. Colón noted that the legislation would not significantly impact law firms or exceed revenue caps, providing relief to the fire victims without heavily impacting local budgets.
