THE WAY THE GOVERNOR’S 70-THOUSAND DOLLAR CONTINGENCY FUND IS SPENT IS CURRENTLY NOT MADE PUBLIC. THAT WOULD CHANGE UNDER A BILL THE NEW MEXICO SENATE APPROVED WEDNESDAY ON A 27-2 VOTE. THE BILL DOESN’T TELL THE GOVERNOR HOW TO SPEND THE MONEY…BUT REQUIRES THAT MONTHLY REPORTS BE SENT TO THE LEGISLATURE ON WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
THE BILL IS SPONSORED BY REPUBLICAN SENATOR SANDER RUE OF ALBUQUERQUE.
