New Mexico Budget Plan Averts Statewide Furloughs
Governor Richardson allocates about 58 million in federal stimulus to ease budget cuts across agencies. About 1,300 judicial employees face potential furloughs with 1.5 to 4 percent pay cuts unless federal aid continues. Public schools will mostly avoid cuts as 65 million helps offset 77 million in reductions. Senator John Arthur Smith warns against spending all remaining aid.
