More New Mexico cities and counties are claiming that the state tax agency has failed to accurately collect and distribute tax revenue. The Albuquerque Journal reports that 44 municipalities, counties and other local agencies have signed on to a lawsuit that began with just a few local governments a year ago. The complaint alleges violations in the state's handling of potentially tens of millions of dollars in gross receipts tax revenue. The Taxation and Revenue Department in court documents has denied the allegations. The agency has appointed a liaison to answer questions and concerns about the tax distribution.
