Legislature debates tax reform and budget cuts Senate to House
The House and Senate debate a stripped down tax reform plan and state budget cuts. Senate actions include about 3 percent agency cuts and shifts toward higher education, while House Republicans push deeper reductions and potential use of cash reserves. Democratic critics warn tuition increases at public universities may follow. The plan funds the general fund with 90 million from older stalled projects and taps 219 million from the tobacco settlement.

Cowboy cook-off brings fun and rivalry to Lincoln County
The event blends friendly competition and craft, with teams like the Black Iron Gang led by Walter Lowe and including State Rep. Bob Woolley. Participants emphasize the joy of cooking, sharing recipes, and seeing judges bite into well-made dishes, while rivals aim for top prizes in biscuits and meat. The Lincoln County cook-off traces to Ray Reed, inspired by a national cowboy symposium, and now promotes New Mexico True experiences with vintage wagons, period dress, and cross-border media attention.
