Republican pushback on House redistricting appeal funding
Republicans criticized the $1.5 million attorney budget for appealing Judge James Hall's redistricting ruling. A floor amendment to remove the funding failed, the bill passed narrowly, blocking an emergency clause and delaying staff pay for 90 days. Rep. Dennis Kintigh said the move spent tax money unwisely while supporting staff pay. He also backs House Joint Memorial 4 to limit legislators to 12 consecutive years, noting doubts the measure will pass. Ezzell co sponsors and questions the fate of non message bills in Rules Committee. She also backs a Taos Muncy memorial and opposes Las Cruces wilderness designation.
