Storm Over Textbook Costs Roils New Mexico Legislature
In Santa Fe March 20 a legislative clash erupts around the free textbook department after it revealed purchases of 43 000 dollars in books beyond current funds. Director Wales Culpepper seeks 325 000 dollars annually for 1941 1942, while Edward Engler argues 1 00 per pupil would suffice. The fight centers on diverting free text revenue to an equalization fund with any surplus to general education, potentially capping department spending at 150 000 dollars yearly and tying orders to daily attendance. HB189 awaits floor action and may trigger statewide echoes.
