The late Sen. Carlos Cisneros of Questa was one of the Legislature’s experts on the challenges of public works projects in New Mexico. And while he worked for years to improve a process too often plagued by piecemeal funding, inadequate planning and flawed execution, he was the first to admit it was a work in progress.
And, to illustrate that, the long-serving Democrat who died unexpectedly in 2019 often told the story of the $7 million Cabresto Lake Dam upgrade in northern New Mexico – a project that wasn’t delivered on time, was over budget and, as a Legislative Finance Committee report in December 2014 pointed out, did not reflect effective planning, management or oversight.
