STATE News:
ALBUQUERQUE “Build with Robots”, an Albuquerque company designing and manufacturing smart robots to disinfect and sanitize large areas, such as schools and airports, has been awarded a State of New Mexico economic development grant to expand its workforce and ramp up production, Cabinet Secretary Alicia J. Keyes announced Friday.
Credit Rep. Patricia Lundstrom LAS CRUCES - The New Mexico House passed a $7.39 billion budget Wednesday, Feb. 24, that would increase spending by 4.6 percent, with much of that going to schools, health care and state employees.
After moving through the House Finance and Appropriations Committee on a unanimous vote, House Bill 2 passed the House on a 60-10 vote. Republicans who opposed the bill questioned some of the increases, but praised the process led by Committee Chair Rep. Patricia Lundstrom, D-Gallup.
“We can proudly say that we completed our constitutional responsibility of preparing a state budget during one of the most trying times the state of New Mexico has ever faced,” she said. “The pandemic, along with economic volatility, is a challenge for any budget maker, but we pushed through, and proudly, with a unanimous vote coming out of committee.”
