Senator Wirth: Will Push for More Corporate Taxes

Peter Wirth

Santa Fe New Mexican - State Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, hasn't had much luck in the past eight years in his effort to pass a bill to make sure out-of-state corporations pay corporate income taxes in New Mexico. Wirth's past "combined reporting" bills have died repeatedly in legislative committees. Gov. Susana Martinez has said she'd veto it. Lobbyists say such a change would hurt business in the state and not bring in the level of revenue that proponents claim. But Wirth, who announced Monday he is seeking re-election to his Senate seat, isn't giving up. He said he'll introduce the bill once again in next year's Legislature. And he'll be speaking about the proposal Tuesday to a local progressive group called We Are People Here, which has taken up Wirth's proposal as one of its causes.
