ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The last round of rebate checks started going out to New Mexicans Monday.

State officials say it is much-needed relief for New Mexicans dealing with inflation and high prices at the pump.

“New Mexicans are under a lot of fiscal strain right now between the price of fuel and the price of other basic necessities,” said Stephanie Schardin Clarke, the state’s Taxation and Revenue secretary.

Starting in June, New Mexico taxpayers started qualifying for rebate checks: $250 for single filers, and $500 for joint returns.

In July, qualifications were income based. Now in August, every taxpayer can expect another round of money.

It just so happened that my check arrived in the mail today. I'll likely use it for fuel for the Fall clampout with the Lost Dutchman Chapter of E Clampus Vitus next month in Williams, Arizona. I may also use it in two weeks for a trip to Ridgway, Colorado to attend the John Wayne Cancer Foundation marathon. 

The July rebate went for fuel for the Durango and Navajo Lake trip this month.

With the clampout and "50ish" high school reunion in September, it looks like it'll be a traveling month. The reunion will mark the first time I'll be in the L.A. area since I moved to New Mexico four and a half years ago.
