New Mexico House Approves 7.6 Billion Budget Amid Oil Slump
In a February vote the New Mexico House approved a 7.6 billion dollar state budget with about 8 percent spending growth and a 4 percent raise for most state workers. The plan assumed oil prices above 52 dollars a barrel but markets collapsed after Saudi Arabia sparked a price war and the corona virus hit, risking a budget shortfall and possible special session. Walter Rubel notes the crisis hits local governments hardest and calls for federal help while praising governors for early actions.
