King Indicates Action On Controversial Bills
Governor Bruce King outlined how he might act on about 900 bills with two weeks left to sign or veto. He voiced uncertainty on a 19-year drinking age bill and on strengthening the Racing Commission while leaning in favor of it. He opposed a broad no fault plan that favored lawyers and favored a petition ballot system for primaries. He endorsed veto of a merit hiring bill and questioned sewers funding priorities for Albuquerque valleys. He worried about two tax bills benefiting cities at the expense of the state.
