Cost of reorganization will be minimal in New Mexico
New Mexico officials state that reorganizing 11 departments will not save money but will not cost much more. Judge Taylor told the House Appropriations and Finance Committee the base next year would total $291.9 million, a 9.1 percent rise, with expansion programs pushing total to $307.9 million. Employment would shift to about 9,686 workers under governor plans, up from 9,497 if only base budgets are funded.
