Taos loses slice of capital outlay funding in NM session
Taos among New Mexico communities awaiting capital outlay money after adjournment left millions in limbo. Taos County would have received 2.774 million with 65 thousand for Taos Youth and Family Center and 30 thousand for Camino del Medio potholes. Lawmakers expect a possible special session to finish the process, while governor’s support tilts toward roads and highways. Political wrangling and district favoritism shape funding choices, with reform deferred to another session.
