UNM Taos funding in jeopardy after veto curtails line item
Gov. Richardson struck a line item veto cutting 1.5 million slated for UNM Taos, reallocating funds to UNM Albuquerque. Taos officials expressed concern over project completion, noting allocations included 1.1 million for infrastructure, 200,000 for workforce, and 300,000 for child care. Board of regents must decide the budget by May 1, with assurances sought from state leaders to restore Taos funding for fall 2008 opening.
