Senate Takes Lead in Special Session to Help New Mexicans

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

The New Mexico State Senate was successful in passing
legislation that will help New Mexicans with tax rebates and healthcare
for children without putting the state in a bind because of an uncertain
budget surplus. The bills were designed carefully so legislators during
the upcoming Regular Session in January could take any corrective action
if the surplus projection is reduced even further. In only a few weeks
time, the projected surplus was reduced from $400 million down to a
little over $200 million. Many Republican Senators were guarded about
the surplus being reduced even more so they were cautious in passing
legislation.
