Residents of Corrales voiced urgent concerns during a recent Sandoval County commission meeting, calling for immediate action regarding what they describe as unconstitutional land valuations. Kathleen and Ken Dehoff, local farmers, highlighted a persistent issue with the county assessor's office, which has been valuing all land in Corrales uniformly, regardless of market differences. They reported that this practice has led to successful protests against their property valuations for three consecutive years, with a recent ruling from 13th District Court Judge Allison Martinez affirming their claims.

The Dehoffs criticized the county's response, alleging that instead of addressing the valuation discrepancies, county lawyers have engaged in frivolous legal maneuvers to dismiss their case. They emphasized the need for the county to restore lawful, market-based property taxation and urged the commission to escalate the matter to the governor for further oversight.

In addition to the valuation issues, Andrew Lewis raised concerns about road conditions in his district, specifically the deterioration of Old Highway 95. He described the road's transformation from an all-weather surface to a gravel path, which has created significant dust problems, particularly affecting vulnerable residents. Lewis called on the commission, particularly Commissioner Jones, to take action to mitigate the dust and restore the road's condition.

The meeting underscored the community's frustration with perceived governmental inaction on critical local issues, as residents seek accountability and fair treatment from county officials.
