Constitutional Amendments Pursue Education Reform and Land Exchange
A set of proposed constitutional amendments advances two themes in New Mexico politics. One joint resolution seeks to revise Article XII Section 6 to create a five member State Board of Education with staggered terms beginning 1937 and empowers the Governor with Senate consent. The other proposal authorizes land exchanges between the state and United States, contingent on congressional approval and mutual agreement between the Commissioner of Public Lands and the Interior Secretary, to be voted on at the 1936 general or prior special election.
