Taos bypass gains from last hour push in 1986 session
In the final hours before the 1986 New Mexico Legislature opened, Rep. Richard LeDoux and Sen. Carlos Cisneros pressed Gov. Toney Anaya to include the Taos bypass in his revenue request. Anaya agreed after discussions, noting Highway Engineer Larry Larranaga’s view that construction could wait until 1987 with potential bond funding. The governor outlined a $225 million executive budget with a 12 percent raise for state workers, while the Legislative Finance Committee proposed broad cuts and salary adjustments.
