$1,406,801 has been wired to Gallup. Where is it going?
Every month, New Mexico distributes a third of the cannabis excise tax collected inside each city back to that city’s government — unrestricted, straight into the general fund. These are the state’s own records of what Gallup (local) has received: rank #10 of 93 NM local governments · $64 per resident · $47.4M in local cannabis sales since 2022. What it gets spent on is decided in this town’s chambers — which is why this page lives in its Town Square.
