Ferguson signs 24, vetoes one in absence of Apodaca
Acting Gov. Robert Ferguson signed 25 bills passed by the 1975 legislature and vetoed one measure raising the fee for temporary special fuel users’ permits from 5 to 20 dollars. He noted the fee move would misalign New Mexico with neighboring states. The package included 1.8 million for a Capitan State Park project and a $50,000 appropriation for development and leasing to Capitan.
