Doña Ana County capital projects that got funded and sponsoring lawmakers


View Comments
LAS CRUCES – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham approved $28.2 million in capital outlay projects for Doña Ana County as part of a $511 million capital bill this month; and for the first time, the public can see how and where state legislators and the governor directed the public infrastructure dollars under their discretion. 
That s because lawmakers passed a law during this winter s 60-day legislative session requiring the previously secret funding requests to be published by the Legislative Council Service along with the funded projects, including projects that were vetoed. 
Lujan Grisham vetoed a small percentage of projects, including three in Doña Ana County, explaining in a statement that she eliminated projects that were too small (under $10,000), projects where the proposed recipients have not used capital funds from the current fiscal year, were not properly planned or otherwise not ready to proceed. ....

Rural communities, such as Ojo Sarco in Rio Arriba County, would get support from a “rural equity” ombudsman, a post proposed in the Legislature. (Eddie Moore/Albuquerque Journal)
Editor’s note: This editorial has been updated to correct Sen. Siah Correa Hemphill’s political affiliation. She is a Democrat.
A bill sponsored by a couple of rural state senators tries to bridge the deepening urban-rural divide in New Mexico by creating a “rural equity” ombudsman post within the state Department of Finance and Administration.
The measure, as promoted by its supporters, sounds like a good idea.
