Nathan cited ASCE low marks for roads bridges and water systems and noted Governing magazine ranking of the system as second worst. He said Senate substitute may move forward but would need House approval.

New Mexico Leaders Reach Bail Reform Compromise
The New Mexico House Republicans and Senate Democrats announce a bail reform compromise backed by judges and prosecutors. The measure would allow judges to deny bail to public danger defendants while permitting non violent defendants pretrial release if bail is unaffordable. The plan aims to save taxpayers about 819 million yearly by jailing fewer non danger defendants, with costly detention for dangerous defendants. The proposal awaits House committee hearing with five days left in session.
