This week's guests on REPORT FROM SANTA FE are Representatives Luciano “Lucky” Varela (D-Santa Fe) and Larry Larranaga (R-Bernalillo) discussing the 2013 Legislative Session and the controversial Breaking Bad Bill/Tax Reform Package that passed the House in the very last seconds of the session. Varela chairs the interim Legislative Finance Committee, and is the Deputy Chair of the House Appropriations and Finance Committee.  Larranaga serves on both of these important finance committees. These two lawmakers bring institutional memory and financial savvy to their work in the New Mexico House of Representatives. Larranaga has been a Representative for 19 years and Varela has served for 26 years. Larranaga and Varela discuss the controversial way the Tax Policy Bill, having been amended in the Senate onto the popular “Breaking Bad” bill, passed the House in the last minutes of the legislative session, despite the fact that the lawmakers did not have copies of the bill and had not read it.  Neither did the amended bill pass through the committee process, nor was any discussion of the tax policy bill allowed on the floor. Last week, Tom Clifford, Secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration, admitted that he was wrong in his crucial estimates of the fiscal impact of the Tax Package that he gave to the body, upon which many lawmakers based their voting decision, resulting in an error that could cost the state over $70 million dollars. Other hot topics include the state's economy and finances, the shifting of tax burdens to local governments, jobs, and water. The lawmakers share their sense of the major accomplishments of the last legislative session and look at issues to be carried over to next year's session.
