NM energy agencies expand under Apodaca tenure
Gov Jerry Apodaca faces a push to cut 500 boards and commissions while six energy agencies with 119 staff and a 6.7 million dollar annual budget have grown since he took office. SERB and three related bodies operate from Santa Fe, with new office space to cost taxpayers an additional 41 thousand dollars yearly. Delegates remain loyal to Reagan amid Schweiker choice debate. Local delegates cite abortion, school prayer, and gun control as key issues influencing support. District voices by Dr Paul Coggins note Reagan’s potential appeal on the East Side despite Schweiker selection.
