Additional Information:
Because the mayor is a member of the local Chamber of Commerce, Lance felt compelled to make the political contribution.
Wanda was previously married to John Allen. When they divorced in 2016, Wanda was awarded custody of their two children, Penny and Kyle - aged 12 and 13 respectively. Under the divorce decree, John was obligated to pay alimony and child support-the alimony payments were to terminate if Wanda remarried.
In July, while going to lunch in downtown Santa Fe, Wanda was injured by a tour bus. Because the driver was clearly at fault, the owner of the bus, Roadrunner Touring Company, paid her medical expenses (including a one-week stay in a hospital). To avoid a lawsuit, Roadrunner also paid her $90,000 as a settlement of the personal injuries she sustained.
The deans have two children, in addition to Penny and Kyle, for whom they provide the full support, Brett who is 13 and Jane who is 20 and does not attend school full time.
Their tax rate for 2023 is 30%
