The Rio Arriba County Health Council will host a Twitter Town Hall from 10-11 a.m. on Wednesday that will be streamed live through Espa?ola station KDCE Radio 950 AM.
People will be able to use Twitter to ask questions related to Medicaid to a panel of experts. The questions will be tracked using the hashtag #HealthierNM. The panelists will provide live answers during the event, which will be held at the Rio Arriba Health Commons as a part of the county?s annual health fair.
Rep. Ben Ray Luj?n will moderate the panel, whose members will include Julie Weinberg and Diana McWilliams of the state Human Services Department; Attorney General Gary King; state senator Linda Lopez; Dr. Dale Alverson, medical director for telehealth and cybermedicine research at the University of New Mexico Hospital; and David Roddy, executive director of the New Mexico Primary Care Association.
Participants can tweet their questions or comments using the hashtag #HealthierNM any time after 11 a.m. today.
?The public is encouraged to ask about all things Medicaid,? said Lauren Reichelt, director of Health and Human Services for Rio Arriba County. ?Any questions about Centennial Care, new services, eligibility, the Affordable Care Act, the insurance exchange, telehealth, behavioral health and what services are available to the elderly and to the incarcerated, are welcome.?
Few property tax bills are rising
More people will see lower rather than higher property tax bills so far under an ongoing reappraisal of properties throughout Santa Fe County.
Of the first 5,032 properties reviewed in time for the April 1 mailing of the 2013 Assessor?s Notice of Value, the value of 3 percent (151) was increased, 35 percent (1,761) were decreased, and 62 percent (3,120) remained unchanged, according to a news release from the county assessor.
At this point, the door to door data collection project is done, according to County Assessor Domingo P. Martinez. Tyler Technologies, working under contract since February 2012, wrapped up the work on July 26. Now the assessor?s staff is reviewing the data collected by the company to reappraise the remainder of some 36,000 residential properties for the upcoming 2014 tax year.
Valuation changes will be reflected on the 2014 Notice of Value. However, residential property values are capped and valuations for any year cannot exceed 3 percent of the prior year?s value, unless the property was recently purchased or there was new construction there.
