Re: HB7/SB114 – School district cash balancesSANTA FE – The State of New Mexico finds itself in the throes of fixing a historic structural deficit, which includes shoring up our current fiscal year to pay our bills. Our approach working with both the Executive and Legislative branches is to find reserves and cash balances that can be used to carry us through June.
The Solvency Package includes multiple proposals to close this gap and stabilize our reserves. Over the last couple years, the Legislature has drawn down our reserves to a near-crisis level that has jeopardized our bond rating and left us with few options.

Get inspired after MLK Day
This year’s observance of Martin Luther King, Jr., Day just happened to fall during the same week when the United States inaugurated a new president –Donald J. Trump.

Gallup and McKinley County celebrated King’s birthday with its annual march from the Gallup Cultural center to the Larry B. Mitchell Recreational Center across town. King gave his life for the human struggle, for quality, dignity and opportunity.

That should definitely help the local film industry,” said Simon Brackley, President and CEO of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce and the head of the local...
