Senate cuts hit New Mexico programs in Interior bill
The Senate approved a 12 billion Interior Department bill cutting Indian affairs and some programs while funding others, including 4.34 million for Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque and 2 million to acquire land for Petroglyphs National Monument.
