Taos County budget rejected by state for cash reserve revision
The New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration rejected Taos County's 1990-91 budget and called for a revised plan with a more realistic cash reserve. Acting County Manager Julia Valerio said the tentative budget proposed a $138,310 cash reserve for the general fund and a $127,823 loss for the road fund. The state requires a reserve of five twelfths of the annual budget, versus last year’s one sixth.
