近距离内射合集

Bernalillo County Assessor Damian Lara recently had a column in the 近距离内射合集 that, in my view, included several statements presented as fact that deserve closer scrutiny. The headline, 鈥淎 clear choice for Bernalillo County assessor,鈥� raises an immediate question: clear by whose standard? As an incumbent campaigning for reelection, the public should examine how that conclusion was reached and whether it reflects reality or campaign messaging.

The assessor claims he is 鈥渕aking the system as progressive as possible.鈥� While we share in our progressive values, the Property Tax Code is not meant to reflect political ideology. The Office of the Assessor requires consistent application of the law. Bringing personal political beliefs into the role raises concerns about whether decisions are based on statute or agenda.

One example is the reclassification of more than 1,000 short-term rentals as nonresidential to 鈥渃reate more available housing.鈥� The new policy unfairly penalizes property owners. Short-term rentals are not the same as hotels or motels, and many owners rely on them for supplemental income, especially in today鈥檚 economy. These properties also contribute to tourism and local revenue. A change of this scale should be grounded in law, not political priorities.

Aside from short-term rentals, the Treasurer鈥檚 Office has corrected more than 3,200 other errors made by the Assessor鈥檚 Office.

There are also concerns about statements made by the assessor regarding property tax exemptions. Although the Legislature approved the expanded benefits in 2024 for the 2025 tax year, the assessor delayed implementation, citing a need for 鈥渃larification.鈥� This postponed relief for veterans while maintaining their tax burden for another year. The shift in tax responsibility from veterans to nonveterans also conveniently occurred after the election cycle, raising questions about timing and intent.

The treatment of revocable trusts during the assessor鈥檚 reassessment process also brings up questions of consistency and ethics. Despite revocable trusts being accepted under prior administrations and in alignment with state statute, the office denied their use, impacting inheritance-related tax protections. A district judge even issued a restraining order after the assessor refused to apply the 3% residential cap due to the deed changes. Approximately 2,200 property owners who filed revocable trust deeds were affected. These actions raise concerns about fairness and adherence to the law.

The assessor also directed criticism toward my office and his opponent in the assessor鈥檚 race, Linda Stover, claiming the deputy treasurer position was created specifically for her. That is incorrect; the position existed prior to my incumbency. He also overstated her salary, claiming she makes $160,000 a year. All Bernalillo County employees鈥� salaries are public record, which shows both my deputy treasurers earn $130,831 yearly.

I would also like to mention that I have received numerous complaints from residents accusing the Assessor鈥檚 Office of using public resources for advertising, including radio, television, print and inserts in notices of value. For the past three years, Lara has used a 鈥渃aricature assessor鈥� of himself to promote his office, but recently, he swapped out his animated self for the real thing. The increased visibility of the assessor鈥檚 name and image, particularly during an election cycle, has led some, including myself, to question whether the emphasis is educational or promotional in nature. Even members of his staff have raised concerns about this shift.

Ultimately, there is one thing Lara and I can agree on: Voters see through a politician鈥檚 hypocrisy 100% of the time. Democratic voters will decide what truly defines a 鈥渃lear choice,鈥� and my choice is Stover.

Tim Eichenberg is the Bernalillo County treasurer.
