Lawmakers end six-session effort by approving a trimmed 86.2 billion budget due to oil tax drops and finally enacting a two tier license system allowing undoc umented immigrants to drive while preserving ID for air travel. A constitutional amendment to deny bail for dangerous defendants and to release nonviolent offenders without bail also advances. Republican wins on drunken driving and child pornography laws contrast with failed three strikes and youth curfew measures. Local airline subsidies may boost small airports like Roswell.
A Roswell citizen urges honoring local youth with a name for the new Yucca Center or for Johnny Gonzales by naming a park street or building. The letter champions Roswell heritage, youth services, and community values while praising Gonzales for 34 years of charity and service.
