Runnels pushes deficit limit as national counterpart to state reform
The Lovington congressman Harold Runnels introduces a proposed constitutional amendment to cap deficit spending at five percent of revenues. Backed by House support and allies like George Mahon and Wilbur Mills, the move signals an emerging national image build. Reports also note a settlement between Walter Famariss, Navajo Refinery, and the State Land Office that could restart the Famariss refinery project, plus a retirement announcement from Ruth Griffith and a New Mexico School Association stance on school funding and vocational education.
