TCCC Position Paper: Whitten Inn-LULAC Dispute
October 2009
The Taos County Chamber of Commerce’s Mission Statement states that it “exists for the sole purpose of advancing our community’s business, agricultural and commercial sectors.” Its sole interest lies in the economic well-being of our vibrant tri-cultural business community. We feel that the current media focus on the conflict between the Whitten Inn and its employees is damaging to both the reputation of our community as a tourism destination and a community with a historical commitment to “fair employment.” Read more...

Town of Taos Sign Code rewrite:
The Town of Taos Sign Code has undergone many cosmetic revisions over the past 40 plus years, but it has never been overhauled to reflect the needs of the business community. The TCCC is in the process of completing this overhaul and will soon open the revision up for public comment.
Expediting restaurant beer & wine licensing:
New Mexico lags far behind other southwestern states in the time it takes for a restaurant to get a license to sell beer and wine. Because of this delay many restaurants have had to close their doors. We gained support through the New Mexico Restaurant Association and have had a significant impact on those delays.
