New Mexico Supreme Court Rules Partial Veto Unconstitutional
The state Supreme Court unanimously struck down Governor Martinez's line item cut from 150000 to 50000 for a housing program, preserving the original 150000 in the budget. Justices upheld legislative exclusive appropriating power, with written opinion pending. The ruling accompanies arguments over a separate tax veto on a 128 million unemployment-benefits measure.

Meetings focus on Navajo water rights and project
In northwestern New Mexico a series of public meetings addresses a proposed diversion of hundreds of thousands of acre-feet from the San Juan River as part of a Navajo Nation water rights settlement. The plan, opposed by the San Juan County Agricultural Water Users Association, would supply pipelines with over 600 000 acre-feet annually while avoiding litigation and creating jobs.
