Capital lawmaker says add 10 million to reserve. reapportionment looms
State Rep. Ralph Petty argues for boosting the general fund reserve from 4–5 percent toward 8–10 percent with a $10 million addition from the surplus. He backs funding a Truth or Consequences classroom wing and up to $6–8 million in non recurring capital projects from the surplus, while opposing broad tax hikes. The session faces reapportionment fights as Santa Fe Court orders another redistricting attempt affecting Lincoln Sierra and Guadalupe counties, with Petty seeking to keep his current district and avoid overrepresentation.
